Utilisation of synthetic amino acids by poultry
A fundamental issue to the development of low protein diets for the Australian chicken meat industry is how efficiently broiler chickens utilise synthetic amino acids. Previous studies in pigs, poultry and laboratory animals have generated inconsistent results. Thus the core of this project is to determine the requirements for (synthetic)...

Dynamics of ILT spread and role of dust in epidemiology, diagnostics and control
This project aims to understand the epidemiology and control of Infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) in chickens. ILTV is shed in faeces and is detectable at high levels in poultry dust that is strongly implicated in its spread via the respiratory route. The project will determine whether faecally shed ILTV is...

Novel detection of chicken welfare using machine vision
The Australian chicken meat industry predominantly uses sheds to house chickens. Sheds are typically inspected 3 times per day, however continual monitoring is required for early intervention of chicken stress. In particular, chickens are susceptible to heat stress which is affected by chicken behaviours, e.g. chicken sitting, not grouping together,...

The pathogenesis of class 9 and class 10 ILTV in Australian meat chickens
This project will characterise the pathogenesis of class 9 and class 10 infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV). These viruses cause severe respiratory disease in commercial meat chickens and are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates in Australia. A comprehensive array of stored samples will be analysed in order to understand...
