Identification of Salmonella enterica biovars Gallinarum and Pullorum and their antibiotic resistance pattern in integrated crop-livestock farms and poultry meats.

In addition to this, pasture/organic poultry farms have increased significantly in the USA, and they are also antibiotic- and chemical-free.
