The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) awarded a $650,000 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) to Oklahoma State University (OSU) to conduct research on developing an antibiotic-free approach to combat necrotic enteritis (NE) in poultry. Specifically, the project will screen additional commensal bacteria for their ability to inhibit the growth of Clostridium perfringens, the bacterium that causes NE, and induce host defense peptide synthesis to...
This USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Project Grant in the amount of $180,000 awarded to Oklahoma State University (OSU) aims to identify antimicrobial metabolites and immune-boosting mechanisms produced by a commensal bacterium that can mitigate Clostridium perfringens-induced necrotic enteritis in poultry. The project has two primary objectives: 1) to identify major antibacterial and host defense peptide-inducing metabolites...
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $650,000 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) to the Division of Agriculture of the University of Arkansas. The award period is from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2028. The project aims to develop effective interventions to mitigate necrotic enteritis (NE), a prevalent poultry disease causing estimated $6 billion in annual losses worldwide. Key objectives...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), is funding research to better understand the underlying biology of drug resistance in parasitic worms that infect poultry. The $225,000 grant awarded to The Johns Hopkins University, to be completed by August 31, 2026, will be used to create a high-quality genome and protein models for...
This federal Project Grant award of $650,000 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) aims to improve small and medium-scale poultry farming practices by incorporating oxygen nanobubbles into poultry drinking water. The multi-regional, multi-institutional research project will study the effects of enhanced oxygen supplementation in four key areas: gut health and production efficiency, disease management (focusing on...
This $1,000,000 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) will fund the development of holistic interventions to address infectious diseases and heat stress exacerbated by climate change challenges facing the $34.68 billion U.S. egg industry. Over four years, researchers at The Ohio State University will work with egg supply chain stakeholders to...
This $299,322 Project Grant award to Auburn University was issued by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The objective is to determine the impact of antimicrobial use (AMU) in poultry production on microbial diversity, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, and horizontal gene transfer in the environment. The research will compare AMR levels and animal health outcomes between antimicrobial-free...
The Agricultural Research Service was awarded $500,000 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) competitive grants program administered by the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture. The three-year project grant will fund research at the Southeast Area location in Stoneville, MS to identify the functional pathways by which avian pathogenic Escherichia coli infection occurs in broiler chickens. The research aims to provide mechanistic...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care program (CFDA 10.025) will provide $245,014.00 to monitor U.S. broiler chicken operations for antimicrobial use (AMU), antimicrobial resistance (AMR), animal health, and production practices, as well as investigate the relationships between these factors over time. The award was made on May 1, 2025...
This $600,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (AFRI program, CFDA 10.310) aims to identify the specific antimicrobial molecules produced by the beneficial bacterium Pseudomonas protegens PBL3 and understand how they inhibit the growth of a pathogenic bacterium that causes a devastating disease in rice crops. The goal is to develop biologically-based solutions to control crop diseases and reduce losses, thereby alleviating...
