Project description
Faster diagnostic testing for chickens
Based on EU rules, antibiotics can only be administered to animals for treatment purposes following diagnosis of disease by a veterinarian. However, proof of bacterial infection is carried out by culturing method, which can take up to 72 hours and costs from EUR 10-50. Focusing on poultry farming, the EU-funded RAID project is advancing a cost-effective veterinary decision support system for the rapid detection of bacterial infections using a spectrometry-based method. Specifically, it can detect bacterial infection within 2 hours at an affordable cost. It uses phospholipids as ‘bacterial fingerprints’, which are detected by regular mass spectroscopic (MS) measurement. The key innovation is the intelligent algorithm that can separate the complicated mixed MS signals.
