(2019) Microbiological Analysis of Poultry Feeds and Drinking Water Source of Poultry Pens. Centrepoint Journal (Science Edition). 25(2): 152-167. http://www.unilorin.edu.ng/centrepoint2141-3819/2017https://uilspace.unilorin.edu.ng/handle/123456789/13330he production of poultry feeds requires microbiological safety regulations to minimize microbial contamination and eventual marketing of the bagged feeds. Samples were collected from four different poultry pens within Ilorin metropolis. A total of 18 bacterial species which included genera of Staphylococcus , Micrococcus, Bacillus, Citrobacter, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Proteus , Corynebacterium, Klebsiella, Aeromonas and Klebsiella were isolated and identified while 7 fungal species including Aspergillus niger, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium oxysporium, Penicillium italicum,Mucor mucedo and Saccharomyces cerevisae were isolated and identified. Total bacterial counts ranged between 1.0 x 102 – 8.2 x 103 cfu/ml for water samples and 1.5 x 103 – 9.4 x 103 cfu/ml for feed samples, fungal count ranged from 1.0 x 102 – 1.1 x 103 cfu/ml for water samples and 3.0 x102 - 2.0 x 103 cfu/ml for feed samples.enPoultry feedswater qualitymicrobiologicalhygienehealthArticle
