PREVENTING PATHOGEN TRANSPORT TO SOUTHERN PIEDMONT LANDSCAPES FROM POULTRY PRODUCTION SYSTEMS

Objective

Prevent transmission of pathogens to the environment and human food from land application of poultry manure. Specifically to; 1) Assess pathogen levels in watersheds and landscapes, 2) Develop methods to collect and identify microbes, 3) Develop systems for handling and application of poultry manure and litter, 4) Elucidate pathogen survival and transport processes and determine filtering efficiency of soils and vegetation, and 5) Assess indirect pathogen risks.
