DETECTION AND FATE OF MICROORGANISMS IN POULTRY AND SWINE WASTES

Objective

Develop laboratory systems to determine the bacterial profile (quantity and types of bacteria present in manure, soil, plant, or air) as affected by management system, environment, and time. Isolate bacteriophages for Campylobacter, Salmonella spp., and Yersinia as indicators of bacterial presence and use in control of pathogens. Determine soil chemical properties which impact fate of harmful manure pathogens.
