Formaldehyde has been used to control microbial contamination in commercial hatch cabinets. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of spray application of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens solid state fermentation products on the microbial load in the hatch cabinet, pioneer colonization of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), and early performance compared to formaldehyde fumigation. An environmental challenge model was used to simulate the microbial bloom to compare the application of two B.

, formerly known as , is a Gram-positive coccus bacterium that is a facultative anaerobe. Although it was previously considered a commensal bacterium that caused secondary disease because of a stressor, can now be considered a causative agent of disease associated with a variety of infections in both humans and animals. has become an emerging pathogen in the poultry industry, particularly in turkey poults, causing acute mortality, usually without any premonitory signs.

This work aimed to develop a nanosuspension (NSps) as an acetogenin (ACGs) carrier, using soy lecithin (SL) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (βCD) named NSps-βCDSL-ACGs. It was characterized by various spectroscopic techniques (DLS, FTIR, UV-vis diffuse reflectance). Moreover, the NSps morphology was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
