Development and field evaluation of a lateral flow test for on-site detection of campylobacter in poultry

A rapid test, suitable for on-farm use, for the detection of Campylobacter can provide a tool for farmers to monitor and identify best practice. The aim of this proof-of-concept study was to develop and trial a dipstick-like test strip onto which a few drops of sample could be spotted for quick, easy, inexpensive and on-site detection of Campylobacter in chicken faeces.

Development of accurate predictive models for the assessment of the survival of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli..

The project provides further insights on how Campylobacter grows and survives in meat and how it can be destroyed by appropriate heat treatment including sous vide which uses lower cooking temperatures. A predictive model and user guide has been developed to help the food industry to address this hazard in food production.
