| Abstract: | Methyl bromide, used at a concentration‐time product of 800 mg h/l at 25 °C with a relative humidity of 70%, was successful in eliminating salmonellae from artificially contaminated poultry foodstuffs. Chicks fed on this fumigated food remained free from the infection and there were no adverse effects on growth rate. |
