Scientists launch chicken study to tackle food poisoning
Scientists at Oxford University are monitoring the behaviour of chickens to try to combat the leading cause of food poisoning.
A new technique that watches their movements can predict which flocks are at risk of becoming infected.
"Humans consume nearly 60 billion chickens a year - more than any other animal. At the same time, there is a worldwide epidemic of human gastroenteric disease caused by Campylobacter.
"It is estimated that up to four-fifths of this disease originates from contaminated chicken meat.
"Despite intensive efforts to improve on-farm biosecurity practice over the past decade, more than 70% of EU broiler [meat] chicken flocks remained Campylobacter-positive at slaughter during 2008, and the incidence of human disease continues unabated. "This suggests that environmental contamination of growing broilers may not be the only cause of high rates of Campylobacter infection in chickens and that key points for intervention - for example, in breeder flocks, hatcheries, or management in the first week of chick life - remain unrecognised."
