Variation of broth composition by addition of broiler litter composting substrate extracts: influence on faecal bacterial growth
Aim: This study investigates differences in bacterial growth response in broth amended with compost-substrate extracts periodically bypassed during broiler litter composting. Methods and Results: Compost samples, suspended in diluent were mixed with double strength broth into which ampicillin selective (0 center dot 3 g l
