The growth of antibiotic‐sensitive salmonellas in hydrated animal feed incubated at 37°C was relatively unaffected by high concentrations (> 800 ppm) of bacteriostatic agents such as chlortetracycline. On the other hand, they were killed by low concentrations (< 50 ppm) of bactericidal agents such as ampicillin or furazolidone. The aminoglycoside antibiotics apramycin and neomycin killed the salmonellas when present at concentrations in excess of those likely to be recommended for therapeutic purposes (> 300 ppm).
