Meet Nguyen Thi Dien, an Associate Professor at the Vietnam National University of Agriculture (VNUA). She’s a co-PI on our project! www.linkedin.com/in/dien-nguy...

Meet Niko Dadios, lecturer in Production Animal Health and Food Safety at @royalvetcollege.bsky.social! He’s part of the food sampling team in the UK 🥪🔬

New paper alert! The team screened chicken meat samples from farms and endpoint (e.g. shops) in India, Bangladesh and Vietnam for 69 veterinary antimicrobials. The proportion of samples from endpoints that were non-compliant for AM residues was 50-100-fold higher than the EU doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Viet Nam recently held a national conference on livestock, veterinary science and technology. Livestock production is currently one of the pillars of Viet Nam’s agriculture sector, with a scale of about $33 billion, but faces challenges:

Meet Dr. Dang Thi Thanh Son (Thanhson) who is our PI for Vietnam. She is an expert in microbiology and food safety. She was speaking at a recent government conference ministry of agriculture and environment. She is leading the VIAVS teams in Vietnam for the field sampling.

The PIs and collaborators of the 23 UKRI funded projects were invited to a series of kick off workshops designed for the new cohorts. A fantastic opportunity to connect and leverage joint training opportunities!

To keep the project moving forward, the UK teams from @royalvetcollege.bsky.social, @ucl.ac.uk and Uni West London have weekly meetings discussing ethics, laboratory protocols, sample collection and logistics

As part of the project set up, in Vietnam, a workshop was held at NIVR, and visits were made to Thai Nguyen province to see feedmills, hatcheries and farms

The OHRIGAME project is a year old! We're excited to see where our research takes us in 2026 🎉

As part of the project set up, PI Ludo visited the NTU Singapore analytical laboratory to discuss sample processing!

In the UK, the @royalvetcollege.bsky.social team went to see the Royal Free Hospital, then the @ucl-ccm.bsky.social team returned the favour! Ludo visited FERA analytical team in York, to discuss validation of chicken feed analysis method for the project ahead!

The OHRIGAME project will sample chicken meat imported from South-East Asia and hospital-grade food in the UK to evaluate the risk of that antimicrobial drug residues and #AMR genes could pose to clinical populations of patients at risk of gut bacteria dysregulation #microbiome

Our objectives in Vietnam:
-Evaluate #AMR in chicken gut
-ID reasons for high level of drugs in meat, eggs, chicken feed and water
-Relate to chicken AMR profiles (the same chickens)
-Use questionnaires to understand farmers’ motivations for under-reporting
-Alignment with Vietnamese NAP for AMR

Hello! 👋The OHRIGAME project aims to understand the fate of antimicrobial drugs in poultry productions in South-East Asia and transboundary movement of AMR and antimicrobial residues in meat. We're multidisciplinary, integrating studies from biological and social sciences!
