[A severe Aspergillus flavus infection in slaughtering chicks and the effect of disinfection with enilconazole: a case study].

Abstract

In a flock of chicks, the number of birds dying per day from infection with especially Aspergillus flavus increased up to 1% during the second half of the fattening period. Levels of Aspergillus flavus were measured before and after cleaning of the chicken house with the anti-mycotic agent eniconazole (Clinafarm, Janssen Pharmaceutical Company, BV). The cleaning and disinfection schedule followed reduced levels if Aspergillus flavus to zero.
