Associate Professor Jianmin Zhang gave a report at the 2nd Quality and Welfare Egg (China) Summit
October 15, 2020, the 2nd Quality and Welfare Egg (China) Summit co- sponsoredby FAI Farm, China Animal Health and Food Safety Alliance (CAFA) and IQC was successfully held in Shanghai. Jianmin Zhang, an associate professor of South China Agricultural University, combined with the "Quality Poultry Program" project supported by the Wal-Mart Foundation, gave a report on "Prevention and control measures for Salmonella in Animal-derived Foods". He emphasized the prevention and control of biosafety, the establishment of infection-free breeder flocks, the use of pollution-free feed and a good breeding environment, strengthening the sanitary management of chicken farms, and controlling from the source to reduce or cut off the spread of Salmonella enteritidis.
This summit has received strong support from the government, universities, industry associations and enterprises. A total of more than 200 people from academia, industry associations, scientific research institutions, representatives of breeding, equipment, processing, testing and certification,catering and retail, and media participated. The summit was broadcast live in both Chinese and English to global participants, more than 10,000 views.
Junping Wen, a postgraduate student of South China Agricultural University, has successfully completed the visiting study exchange in the University of Arkansas
From November 2019 to February 2020, South China Agricultural University research team sent postgraduate student Junping Wen to the research group of Professor Yanbin Li at University of Arkansas for exchange and learning. Under the careful guidance of Professor Yanbin Li,student Junping Wen have systematically studied the electrochemical measurement technologies such as cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), mastered the technology of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and other biological sensing experimental methods. After coming back to China, Junping Wen aimed to slove bottleneck of Salmonella Pullorum rapid detection technology in the breeding farm, successfully developed a variety novel rapid detection technology based on single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). At present, he has applied for 5 chinese national invention patents, authorized 1 international invention patent, and published 3 SCI papers in Poultry Science and Frontiers in Microbiology. This visit has enhanced the communication between the project team's cooperation units, promoted the cross integration between different disciplines, and promoted the follow-up work of Wal-Mart's Quality Poultry Program.
