Providing milk supply chain with a rapid, portable and cost effective biosensor for multi-pathogen detection in milk

Objective

The European dairy industry represents one of the most important sectors within the European agri-food industry, and comprises over 1.8 million SMEs in EU-25. Dairy Associations are concerned about the presence of diseases which are highly contagious and dangerous to human and animal health, such as brucellosis, Johne's disease and mastitis, in the European herd. The pathogens provoking these diseases are present in raw milk and, some, even in pasteurised milk. Nowadays, in most EU countries official pathogen detection is performed via annual invasive blood analyses.

This is clearly insufficient as in the meantime any infections on farms remain undetected and spread. The latter implies significant losses in production, veterinary treatments, abortions and ill-cow slaughters. Apart from the dramatic impact on farmer's incomes, the absence of detection also poses the risk that contaminated milk is distributed for human consumption until the next official blood sampling.
