Development of single administration, slow release vaccine delivery system

Australian Eggs

This project was conducted to assist free range egg producers with the management of manure nutrients to minimise the risk of environmental impact. The aim of the research was to determine manure nutrient excretion in free range sheds via mass balance and predict manure nutrient excretion in the free range...

Gut Decisions: Effect of eggs on microbiome and cognition

Australian Eggs

This project aims to examine the effects of egg intake (2 whole eggs per day for 6 weeks) on the human gut microbiome, and explore clinical outcomes (i.e., cognition, gut sensations) and potential mediating factors (i.e., inflammation regulation) in younger and older adults via a randomised controlled trial. The findings...

Genetic restoration to protect Australian poultry against Avian Influenza

Australian Eggs

The initial stage of research found the key in chicken genetics that is responsible for high pathogenic avian influenza virus. This project builds on this important finding, by testing the most appropriate and effective intervention to prevent low pathogenic avian influenza progressing to high pathogenic avian influenza. This project will...

Intelligent Real-time Monitoring of Flock Behaviour and Welfare

Australian Eggs

Automated video-based systems will use computer vision and machine learning to identify individual bird behaviours that will help determine whole flock movements and behaviours, while providing real-time information on the proportion of hens eating, drinking, laying eggs etc. This information combined with flock records will provide insights into bird health,...

Mechanisms of Spotty Liver Disease pathogenesis and immune protection: informing vaccine development

Australian Eggs

This project aims to investigate the mechanisms driving Spotty Liver Disease (SLD) pathogenesis. Currently antibiotic therapy is the most effective way to control SLD. Understanding the role of toxins and other virulence determinants in disease pathogenesis and immune protection will help to identify targets for vaccine development. A prototype vaccine...

Spotty Liver Disease Epidemiology

Australian Eggs

In this project, egg farms across Australia participated in three surveys. The participants provided a lot of information about their flocks including details on biosecurity, management, performance and health. The researchers analysed the differences and similarities in flocks that broke out with Spotty Liver Disease and those that didn't. Based...

Investigating the cause of Miliary Hepatitis in laying chickens

Australian Eggs

Miliary hepatitis can cause mortalities and loss of egg production in chickens. The cause is unknown. This trial attempted to establish a model of the disease, so that preventative and control measures can be undertaken.

Identification of investment requirements and opportunities regarding carbon insetting in vineyards

Wine Australia

This study, commissioned by Wine Australia in collaboration with The Growth Drivers and CO2 Australia, investigated the potential for carbon insetting within Australian vineyard businesses. Carbon insetting involves integrating carbon sequestration within vineyard operations to offset emissions, with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality. The report assessed the investment needs,...
