Abstract: A probiotic composition comprising Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Enterococcus faecalis, Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus johnsonii, Lactobacillus gallinarum and Lactobacillus crispatus is provided. The probiotic composition stimulates the immune response of chickens without negatively affecting growth performance. The probiotic composition can be added to poultry feed to improve the health and performance of chickens, and can be used as a replacement for antibiotic supplementation.

Abstract: A system and method for the detection and quantification of biomolecules by measuring a piezoelectric signal is described. The system comprises a plurality of elongate zinc oxide nanowires mounted generally parallel to each another on a semi conductive silicon substrate. The free ends of the nanowires are provided with biomolecules that are capable of associating with complementary biomolecules within a biological or water sample. Following incubation of the system in a sample, the association of molecules of interest with the immobilised biomolecules on the system results in the displacement of the zinc oxide nanowires. The displacement of the nanowires produces a piezoelectric voltage signal that is useful in diagnosing a pathogenic infection or the contamination of a sample.

Abstract: A device for detecting target biomolecules is provided. The device consists of an electrically conductive membrane having a biological recognition component configured to bind a target biomolecule immobilized thereon. The membrane is connected to an electric circuit by means of electrodes. A voltage source applies a voltage to the membrane and a resistance monitoring device monitors the resistance of the membrane as a selected volume of fluid sample suspected of containing the target biomolecule is delivered onto the membrane.
