Multi-Omics Approaches to Study Effect of Antibiotic Alternatives on Pathogen Colonization, Poultry Gut Microbiota Function, Health and Productivity

Objective

<p>Apply multi-omics approaches to study pathogen colonization, gut microbiota function, health and productivity parameters in poultry. Develop antibiotic alternatives as potential intervention/control strategies to reduce the colonization of the foodborne pathogens Salmonella and Campylobacter in poultry. Improve the antimicrobial efficacy of antibiotic alternatives with use of novel compound carriers and delivery methods.</p>
