- This Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) provides $650,000 to fund research at the University of California, Davis from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026. The research will evaluate organic fatty acid derivatives and their potential to aid in the prevention and control of post-weaning diarrhea in swine. Specifically, the project will explore...
- This federal Project Grant award of $237,204.00 from the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), will fund research into using gut microbiome modulation as an alternative approach to control Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) in swine. The key objectives of this 18-month project, led by the Regents of the University of Minnesota, are to investigate the effects of microbiome...
- 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) 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 $650,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will support research to evaluate the use of probiotic bacterial supplements in dairy calves. The goal is to promote beneficial gut microbiome development in neonatal calves, with the aim of enhancing growth, feed efficiency, and overall animal health and productivity in dairy systems. The project will assess the colonization potential, impacts on rumen and...
- 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...
- This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310), provides $994,586.00 to study the effectiveness of new rules and technologies in reducing the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria on dairy farms. The 5-year project, awarded on July 15, 2025, will focus on 4 main goals: 1) Assessing the impact of regulations on limiting antibiotic use in animals and...
- The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded $650,000 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program to Purdue University. The project aims to determine the effectiveness of feeding live yeast to sows during pregnancy to strengthen piglet immunity and growth potential. The researchers will study effects on milk composition, proteome, lipidome, microbiome and inflammatory status. They will also examine impacts on piglet...
- This $650,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative) aims to study the welfare and housing preferences of pregnant female pigs. The research will use innovative choice and motivation testing approaches to objectively assess what an individual pig desires and values in different housing conditions. This work seeks to provide stakeholders with robust, animal-based data to...
- This $220,000 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Project Grant, awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310), will support a 2-year study at Purdue University on the effects of colostrum consumption by neonatal piglets. The project aims to investigate the systemic metabolic impacts, including potential mitochondrial dysregulation, resulting from inadequate colostrum intake. Using stable isotope tracing and transcriptomic analysis of liver tissue,...
