This $623,828 Project Grant from the US Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund research to develop and test a risk-based strategy for reducing Salmonella contamination in broiler chickens. The University of Georgia Research Foundation will screen broiler flocks before slaughter to assess Salmonella levels and identify specific serotypes most concerning for human health. Flocks will be...
This $300,000 Project Grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The objective is to develop and implement effective mitigation strategies at the production level to limit Salmonella colonization in chickens and reduce the transmission of Salmonella to poultry products and humans. The grant will fund research to evaluate the efficacy of combining...
The University of Wisconsin System was awarded a $648,244 Project Grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The grant, awarded on June 1, 2024, will fund research to develop a novel bioengineered bacteriophage (phage) population that can be applied during feed withdrawal to reduce Salmonella prevalence in broiler chickens before processing. The key objectives are to: 1) bioengineer phages with optimized efficacy...
The National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $498,178 Project Grant to Cleveland State University from the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program (CFDA No. 10.310). The grant will fund research from June 2023 through May 2026 to build tools using experimental data and mathematical models to predict the dynamics of Salmonella and Campylobacter pathogen transfer and survival during poultry processing scalding, chilling, and post-chill stages. The research...
This $650,000 Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA 10.310 program aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a genetically engineered Bacillus subtilis probiotic strain in reducing Salmonella colonization in broiler chickens. The primary awardee, the Regents of the University of Michigan, will develop a B. subtilis strain that secretes Salmonella-neutralizing nanobodies to directly...
This USDA Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Project Grant awarded to North Carolina State University (NC State) provides $300,000 to investigate the relationship between turkey nutrition and the underlying causes of injurious pecking behavior, a leading cause of mortality and economic losses in the U.S. turkey industry. The project aims to determine how diet affects the behavioral motivations and gut health of turkeys, and how those factors relate to the prevalence of injurious...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), funds the development of a novel double-stage filter system to rapidly detect the presence of Salmonella bacteria in food products. The $299,999 award to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) aims to engineer an anti-fouling stirred cell device that can filter and collect...
This $150,000 Project Grant awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) under the Capacity Building Grants for Non-Land Grant Colleges of Agriculture (CFDA 10.326) program aims to develop a novel digital PCR assay for detecting and quantifying Salmonella contamination in beef samples. The key products to be delivered through this 2-year project include: A new diagnostic assay capable of detecting Salmonella and quantifying its...
