Tomasz Dzieciolowski investigates how we can reduce the number of campylobacter and other pathogenic bacteria in the ready-to-eat chicken in his doctoral project. The project is a collaboration between Kronfågel and SLU.

Today, the demand for Swedish chicken is increasing at the same time as many consumers are worried about disease outbreaks in poultry herds. Tomasz is working on solving this in a doctoral project that is part of LivsID, which brings together SLU's industrial doctoral students in the food field.
