Intelligent chicken feed - Dr. Jeremy Tzeng

Dr. Jeremy Tzeng
Microbiologist, Clemson University

Poultry is a big business in South Carolina and favorite food for many Americans. I'm Dr. Jeremy Tzeng, a Microbiologist at Clemson University. My colleagues and I, we are using nanotechnology to keep our birds and consumers healthy. Chickens can get diseases and illnesses and a handful of chicken can spread throughout the facility housing thousands. For consumers chicken can harbor many viruses, many bacterias, and fungi which do not cause illness in chicken but, however, do cause illness in humans. Especially when the chicken, when the bird is not properly handled, mis-handled or undercooked in food preparations.

We have been looking for a drug free alternative for using antibiotics in chicken feed. Lately my colleague and I have made significant progress in using nanotechnology to keep our birds healthy. Nanotechnology is tiny science using material one one hundred-thousandth of human hair. Scientists have been using nanotechnology to make better medicine to make faster computer to keep our food healthy. We have built nanoparticles that lock to pathogens, disease causing pathogens, and when the nanoparticles binds to the pathogens it causes the pathogen to aggregate and then allows them to pass through the chicken bowel and we call that intelligent chicken feed. It will take more research and testing before the nanoparticle is ready to be used but in not so distant future the lives of chicken and human we believe will live a better life because of the use of intelligent chicken feed.

I think this is what 'proper handling' methods consist of.

@lizard987ify ,please read up on silver and its uses as an antibiotic as an alternative. You might like what you find.

Look man what ever happen to back to basics? that's the way to go in my book why keep them caged up let them roam around free you know they can eat bugs and so on and so fourth the meat birds taste a lot better and the egg layers have better quality of eggs that's the way to go. But hell I'm not a farmer I'm just a hobby'est. shit I grew up in a farm that's all you need to know.

thumbs DOWN for this VID!

I was hoping one was going to peck his finger at the end. But chickens arnt cruel like that. Just Humans!

@lizard987ify Facts say differently than "what you feel" (Int J Cancer study 08;123:2152-2155: Study participants who had taken 2-5 antibiotic prescriptions had a 27% increase in cancers compared to those who took none. Wide-spectrum antibiotics derange the normal ecology of the intestine. The use of antibiotics encourages the development of the mutant, drug-resistant super-bacteria, including staph, pneumonia, strep, tuberculosis, and dysentery. Antibiotics weaken the body’s immune response.

@TheBuilderguy1 Let them test their nano-tech upon themselves, and for 7 generations while they are at it.

You have no idea of the danger you put on the human race, but for a little profit, you dont care. TEST your nanotechnology before you feed it to US!!

If I losses 2 cents per bird I wouldn't give my laying hens antibiotics. But I love them and I dont want them to die from diseases so I'm gonna continue using antibiotics preventatively and eating the eggs. Because I feel they are safe and give my birds a more productive life. You did not convince me.

@lizard987ify number one, the farmers lose about 2 cents per bird they feed anti biotics to, number two the mortality rate is increased becuz the meat birds pack on the pounds too fast and the egglayers are pushed beyond their natural and viable limits, and three, the antibiotics for chickens are specially made for chickens and can be passed on into our food which is not good for us to intake.
