Research Project: Multi-hurdle Approaches for Controlling Foodborne Pathogens in Poultry: Salmonella Vaccine Potency Testing

Location: Poultry Production and Product Safety Research

Project Number: 6022-32420-001-031-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Sep 1, 2024
End Date: Nov 30, 2025

Objective:
To test the potency of eBeam-killed-Salmonella vaccine in broiler chickens.

Approach:
Salmonella cultures for electron beam (eBeam) exposure will be prepared, then exposed to eBeam technology for inactivation. The eBeam-exposed Salmonella samples will then be used as a vaccine and test it potency in broiler chickens. USDA cooperator will develop the vaccine against Salmonella and the university of cooperator will test the potency of the vaccine in broiler chickens.
