Avian Salmonella spp. Antigen Test: Safeguarding Poultry Health and Ensuring Food Safety
Sep 02,2025
Recently, multiple states across the U.S. have reported outbreaks of Salmonella, raising significant public concern regarding food safety and the hygiene of poultry products. Salmonella is a common zoonotic pathogen that can be transmitted to humans through contaminated poultry products such as eggs and chicken, leading to food poisoning, fever, diarrhea, and other health issues. It poses a particularly serious threat to children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals.
EVEGEN's Avian Salmonella spp. Antigen Test, designed to help poultry producers—especially those managing breeding flocks and layer flocks—achieve early detection, control, and elimination of Salmonella through efficient and accurate monitoring, thereby blocking the transmission chain at its source.
Salmonella and the Poultry Industry: Vertical Transmission and Food Safety Risks
Salmonella can spread within poultry populations through multiple routes, most notably via vertical transmission—where infected breeding hens transmit the bacteria to their offspring through eggs. This mode of transmission not only perpetuates infection within flocks but can also lead to contamination of chicken meat and egg products, ultimately endangering consumer health. Disease outbreaks often result in substantial economic losses and reputational damage for producers, with product recalls becoming increasingly common.
EVEGEN's Avian Salmonella spp. Antigen Test: Precision Monitoring and Proactive Elimination
EVEGEN’s Avian Salmonella spp. Antigen Test utilizes immunological detection technology, offering high sensitivity and specificity to rapidly and reliably identify Salmonella antigens in poultry samples. The test system is suitable for:
Routine health monitoring of breeding and layer flocks
Environmental screening in hatcheries and farms
Random sampling and quality control of live birds and poultry products
Through regular monitoring and timely intervention, producers can effectively identify infected birds, implement isolation or culling measures, and gradually eliminate Salmonella from flocks, reducing the risk of transmission.
From Farm to Table: Building a Comprehensive Food Safety Defense
EVEGEN’s solution focuses not only on flock health but also on ensuring end-to-end food safety across the entire production chain—from farming and processing to consumption. By helping clients implement scientific monitoring and elimination programs, we enable them to:
Reduce the probability of outbreaks and enhance production efficiency;
Meet increasingly stringent food safety regulatory requirements;
Strengthen consumer trust and build a reputation for safety and reliability.
Looking Ahead: EVEGEN Advancing with the Industry
EVEGEN will continue to invest in research and development to optimize testing solutions while collaborating closely with producers, regulators, and research institutions to advance poultry health management and food safety standards. We firmly believe that through technological innovation and industry collaboration, the spread of zoonotic diseases can be effectively curtailed, safeguarding public health.
