The U.S. Poultry & Egg Assn. (USPOULTRY) is offering two technical references to develop plant biomapping studies using whole genome sequencing technology.

These references are the first documents for USPOULTRY’s Food Safety Technical Reference Series, which is dedicated for use as validation for food safety programs. This technical reference series serves as a tool in the implementation of testing protocols for the identification of microbial populations from carcass rinse, swabs or APC plate samples using next genome sequencing technology.

The technical references are available to USPOULTRY members only and can be obtained by visiting http://www.uspoultry.org/foodsafety.

USPOULTRY is an all-feather organization representing today’s poultry industry. Its mission is to serve member companies through research, education, communication and technical assistance. Founded in 1947, USPOULTRY is based in Tucker, Ga.
