Abstract:
Background: The pervasive presence of filamentous fungi in poultry farming environments has a profound impact on the bird health, leading to reduced growth rates, increased mortality, and decreased egg production. The objective of this study was to use an avian model to determine the pathogenicity of some filamentous fungal isolates from litter, feed, and fecal samples on day-old birds.
