Campylobacter (C.) jejuni loads of 36 sentinels per group. Campylobacter concentrations were determined semi-quantitatively. Phages were continuously administered via drinking water 19, 20, and 21 days post inoculation (dpi) in the treatment group. (A) C. jejuni counts in log10 most probable number (MPN) in cloacal swabs from sentinel chickens. Cloacal swabs from 19 dpi were taken before phage application in the treatment group. At 22 and 23 dpi, the sentinels in the treatment group were exclusively sampled. (B) C. jejuni counts in log10 MPN per gram in cecal and colonic content of sentinels in the treatment and the control group after dissection (23 dpi). Medians (bold line) and significance levels (p values) between groups determined by the Mann-Whitney U test are indicated. * (p < 0.05), ** (p < 0.01), *** (p < 0.001)
