Consumer backlash over the excessive use of antibiotics in farm operations is forcing industry to look for alternatives.  <\/p>\n

That’s where Dr. Carlo Montemagno <\/span>believes Ingenuity Lab can make a difference, and that’s with a little help from nano science and biological systems.<\/p>\n

Ingenuity Lab is researching new technology to vaccinate hogs, thereby reducing the need for antibiotics  and hopefully, reducing costs for farmers.<\/p>\n

DR CARLO MONTEMAGNO:<\/span>  One of the things that we’re developing is a solid state vaccine system that would allow us to take the vaccine, make it into a solid state form that you can put in animals’ feed so you don’t have to innoculate every individual animal.  The end result is you’ll have healthy animals and less,of them will become sick and less of them will require antibiotics, which means the food we’re going to get, is not going to have as much antibiotics in it, which  has major implications reducing the antibiotics that gets released through the sewer system, the waste treatment system , which ends up creating bacteria, which is implicated in the spread of  organisms that are antibiotic resistant. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Montemagno says his group is currently testing the vaccine delivery system on mice, and  will begin tests with hogs next year.  <\/p>\n
