OverviewAI-generated summary

Ruvindu Perera's research focuses on investigating methods to mitigate lameness in broiler chickens, particularly lameness associated with bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO). Perera has explored the dietary timing of organic trace minerals as a means to reduce BCO incidence using aerosol transmission models. Further research has evaluated the effectiveness of probiotic interventions, including PoultryStar®Bro and a triple-strain Bacillus-based additive, in conjunction with vaccination strategies and spray applications at hatch. Additionally, Perera has investigated the application of electron beam (eBeam) technology for developing inactivated vaccines, specifically a Staphylococcus vaccine designed to prevent BCO lameness. Perera's work also includes preliminary investigations into the cecal microbiota of experimental broilers and the use of hybrid challenge models to assess these interventions. Collaborations include Adnan Alrubaye, Khawla Alharbi, Andi Asnayanti, and Palmy Jesudhasan, with whom Perera has co-authored multiple publications.
