Researchers build a quantitative microbial risk assessment of Salmonella in poultry products to assess the likely impact on foodborne disease of interventions, performance standards and regulations targeting Salmonella levels and/or specific serotypes.
The goal of the award is to recognize outstanding completed research projects, funded by USPOULTRY or the USPOULTRY Foundation, that have made a significant positive impact on the poultry industry.
Six researchers review their findings from projects funded by the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association and its foundation as part of the TECHTalks sessions offered during IPPE.
Mississippi State researchers complete Project #729: Evaluating Vertical Transmission of Salmonella Reading Outbreak Strain in Turkeys Using Bioluminescent Imaging.
Research project aims to identify the potential of bioluminescent S. Reading strains to colonize the reproductive tissues of breeder hens following experimental infection and vertically transfer from hens through eggs.
Cobb encourages proposals that promote the convergence of science, automation, data and technology to advance poultry genetics, health, welfare and production efficiency.
Project develops a laboratory challenge model adequate for testing products to control the microbial bloom in the hatch cabinet and promote colonization by beneficial microbes in neonatal chicks.
The central hypothesis is that a recirculating electrostatic precipitator
could reduce dust concentrations and thermal stratification in winter when ventilation rates are low and dust concentrations are higher.
