Abstract(s)

Poultry production has been found to constitute a serious threat to global health due to microbial contamination. Chicken bedding material may be an underestimated source of pathogens. Currently, there is a lack of information concerning the impact of the bedding material used on fungal development. We aimed to characterize fungal exposure in poultry facilities during birds growth cycle.
