ArticleItem Open Access Monitoring of House Fly Population by Baited Jug Traps Method in Narrow Caged and High Rise Caged Layer Houses of Namakkal District, Tamilnadu(2017-10) Vembuvizhivendan, Tamilam; Kandasamy, Thangavel; TANUVASThe house fly is considered the major pest species associated with poultry manure especially in caged layer operations. Namakkal area is the chief poultry belt of Tamil Nadu. Intensity of house fly population in narrow caged layer houses and high rise caged layer houses was monitored from June 2007 to May 2008 by baited jug trap method. In poultry farms, the intensity of house fly population was low to moderate from June to August but increased during the months of October and November in narrow caged layer houses while high rise caged layer houses witnessed a very high level of fly population during the months of September and October. The fly population was found to be low throughout the winter season. After that, a steady rise in the fly intensity was noticed from March to May’08. A marked variation in the fly population was observed between narrow caged layer houses and high rise caged layer houses.ArticleItem Open Access Multidrug Resistance Pattern of E.coli from Poultry(2018-07) Kandasamy, Thangavel; Vembuvizhivendan, Tamilam; Kannan; TANUVASThe emergence and diffusion of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has been a major public health problem for many years now. In this study, antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli was investigated. The occurrence of colibacillosis was 65% in poultry. This study also revealed that the E. coli (78) isolates were more susceptible to levofloxacin (92.3%), enrofloxacin (88.4), ofloxacin (83.3%), gentamicin (73%), ceftriaxone (60.3) and neomycin (54%). Rationale use of these drugs may prevent the development of resistant isolates of E. coli in future. The E. coli isolates were resistant to amoxicillin (74.6%), cloxacillin (70.6%), tetracycline (60%) and amikacin (50%). Indiscriminate use, improper selection, improper dose, incorrect duration of antibiotics at farm level may be responsible for such a higher occurrence of resistance.
