Microbiology plays a pivotal role in the poultry industry as it ensures the health, welfare, and productivity of poultry. Thus, understanding poultry microbiology is crucial for preventing and controlling infectious diseases and guaranteeing the safety of poultry products for human consumption. In this episode, we delve into a fascinating conversation with Dr. Anuraj Sukumaran, a distinguished expert in food microbiology and safety. Dr. Sukumaran’s pioneering work has significantly advanced our comprehension of the intersection between microbiology, poultry health, and food safety. He addresses critical aspects, including pathogen control during the post-harvest phase and combating the formation of resilient bacterial biofilms.
“My suggestion to the industry is to remain vigilant at all times for emerging pathogens and challenges. It is crucial to continuously develop new programs and regularly update existing ones to consistently provide safer food for the public.” – Dr. Anuraj Sukumaran
