Banham Poultry and Akeso Biomedical Partner to Reduce Foodborne Illness Due to Campylobacter
Banham Poultry and Akeso Biomedical recently announced a partnership focused on controlling Campylobacter infection of chickens. The partnership will seek to significantly reduce the levels of Campylobacter in chickens raised on the farm as part of an integrated approach.
The partnership will aim to develop a feed additive for poultry using Akeso’s Fe3C technology to reduce Campylobacter levels. The Fe3C technology was discovered at the University of Nottingham by Dr. Mahdavi, and Professors Soultanas and Ala’Aldeen, and prevents the binding of Campylobacter to the chicken’s GI tract and subsequent infection.
