Project Number: LAB94151: NE1048 Multistate Project : Mastitis Resistance to Enhance Dairy Food Safety
Objectives
Objective 1: Characterization of host mechanisms associated with mastitis susceptibility and resistance.
Objective 2: Characterization and manipulation of virulence factors of mastitis pathogens for enhancing host defenses.
Objective 3: Assessment and application of new technologies that advance mastitis control, milk quality, and dairy food safety.
Project Number: LABO 3890 A Comparison of Poultry Equipment and Other Critical Variables on Fuel/Energy Consumption and Broiler Performance
Objectives:
1. Compare fuel consumption of two types of brooding equipment. (tube heaters vs Brooder heaters)
2. Compare bird health and performance for the two types of heaters.
3. Evaluate other house factors such as : darkling beetles, fire ants and rodent control.
