Effective nano-supplements for pathogenic bacterial control

Food safety and quality are major challenges for the poultry industry. Specifically, food-borne pathogens such as Campylobacter jejuni and Salmonella are carried by chicken, resulting in severe microbial infections affecting human health. The expected outcomes of this project are to obtain effective nano-supplements using advanced nanotechnology thereby reducing food safety outbreaks and improving poultry health. These effective nanosupplements will deliver improved nutritional components for the poultry industry. It should provide high-quality meat for Australians, ensuring the safety and biosecurity of the public, at present and in the future. The nano-supplements will open new markets and generate significant commercial opportunities for Australia.
