Reference number : GC-2017-Q4-00038, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Alcantara, Joenel (University of Calgary), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Alberta, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Collaborative Research and Development Grants - Project, program name french : Subventions de recherche et développement coopérative - projet, program purpose english : In 2014 Canada produced poultry and egg products of a market value of $5 billion with Alberta's share in excess of $472 million CAD. Demand for Alberta poultry and egg products will continue to grow. However, Alberta's poultry industry still faces flock loss from enteric infection which is the primary cause of mortality. If chickens survive infection, the disease contributes to lagging growth, poor flock bodyweight uniformity, and increased susceptibility to other infections. Among the enteric poultry diseases are necrotic enteritis and coccidiosis with a combined global economic loss of 6.5 billion CAD annually. An effective, inexpensive vaccine is needed to reduce economic loss to the poultry industry. Our overall objective is to develop a plant-derived multicomponent vaccine against coccidiosis and necrotic enteritis. The antigens will accumulate in the seeds of plants, be extracted from the seeds, and formulated into a vaccine that can be easily used by the poultry industry., program purpose french : In 2014 Canada produced poultry and egg products of a market value of $5 billion with Alberta's share in excess of $472 million CAD.
