  • Title: Therapeutic supplementation of caprylic acid in feed reduces Campylobacter jejuni colonization in broiler chicks.
    Author: Solis de los Santos F, Donoghue AM, Venkitanarayanan K, Reyes-Herrera I, Metcalf JH, Dirain ML, Aguiar VF, Blore PJ, Donoghue DJ.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 2008 Jul; 74(14):4564-6. PubMed ID: 18502935.
    Abstract:
    Poultry colonized with Campylobacter species are a significant source of human food-borne illness. The therapeutic use of the medium chain fatty acid caprylic acid consistently reduced enteric C. jejuni colonization in chicks by 3 to 4 logs in three separate trials. These results support caprylic acid's potential to reduce Campylobacter carriage in poultry.
