Effects of different treatments on total flora prevalence in broiler intestine 25 g of sample was mixed in 225 ml of buffered peptone water. Appropriate decimal dilutions were performed and 1 ml of each required dilution was then transferred into a Petri dish with 15 ml of tempered PCA agar. When solidified, Petri dishes were incubated at 30 ± 1°C for 72 h ± 3 h. Only plates containing less than 300 colonies but greater than 10 were used for enumeration.
