The project aims to evaluate the utility of bacteriocins from lactic acid bacteria as a food-grade antimicrobial agent for the prevention and control of mastitis infection in dairy cattle
Bacteriocin-based formulations effective in controlling against mastitis-causing bacterial pathogens will be a patentable technology
Findings of this study will be compiled as scholarly outputs in a form of scientific publications, presentations at scientific conferences and symposia.
