A Veterinary Decision Support System

by Rapid Bacterial Infection Detection (RAID)

Objective

The objective of our project is to provide a cost effective veterinary decision support system (RAID) for the rapid detection of bacterial infections in poultry (mainly Broiler chicken) farming using spectrometry based method.

Need

Chicken Market >

Chicken production is progressing all over the world.

According to the World Watch Institute, 74 percent of the world’s poultry meat, and 68 percent of eggs are produced in ways that are described as “intensive”...

Antibiotic usage: regulations >

One of the important problems of humanity is to provide enough food for the increasing population.

Production of meet with increasing efficiency and lower costs induced the spreading of intensive farming technologies...

Limitations... >
