The experiments were conducted to prevent Salmonellosis in growing Japanese quail chicks by a Competitive exclusion method with chicken cecal contents. Quails at one day-old and 5 weeks of age, were administered the cecal contents, and after 2 days, they were inoculated with Salmonella thphimurium (ST). ST colonization was counted 2 and 3 weeks after the inoculation. The results were as follows: 1) In quails administered with the treatments of cecal contents at one day-old, ST colonization in the bowel were significantly decreased. 2) Prevention of ST colonization was not observed when quails were treated with cecal content sat 5 weeks of age
