It is now recognized that Campylobacter is one of the main bacterial hazard involved in foodborne diseases around the world leading to an increasing number of gastrointestinal campylobacteriosis in humans. Plus, it is known that this disease have a very high-social cost. According to researchers of Emerging Pathogens Institute (EPI) (University of Florida (United States)), the combination Poultry / Campylobacter is the greatest cause of human campylobacteriosis. It's well known all around the world that intestinal carriage of Campylobacter is very large and frequent; it can be reached 100% of animal infected. Reducing this danger can be exercised at different stages levels in the food chain. Intervention at the farm level by reducing colonization of the birds should be taken into account in the overall control policy. This review gives an up-to-date overview of suggested on-farm control measures to reduce the prevalence and colonization of Campylobacter in poultry.
