Overview

The Food Standards Agency is seeking research proposals for a field-trial study to assess the effectiveness of commercial probiotic formulations in reducing or delaying Campylobacter colonisation in broiler flocks under commercial UK farming conditions, and to evaluate their impact on welfare and production performance indicators. The study will be conducted in real-life intensive broiler houses with multiple discrete phases and break clauses allowing the FSA to review findings at key deliverables and determine continuation. The estimated value is £500,000 with a submission deadline of 13 October 2026.
