Edmonton-based SciMed Technologies Inc. will receive $350,000 in federal aid for the development of a new device for the rapid and simultaneous detection of multiple antibiotic residues in dairy milk.
“Keeping Canadian dairy safe and antibiotic-free is an important part of ensuring a profitable and sustainable future for producers and the entire dairy value chain,” Conservative MP Mike Lake (Edmonton-Mill Woods-Beaumont) said in a statement.
This device will allow dairy producers to quickly detect antibiotic residues in milk without ever leaving the farm. The Canadian dairy industry already abides by strict quality standards that prevent and reduce food safety hazards and risks on the farm.
“Our Immuno-biochip technology will help ensure milk and agri-food products meet the regulatory requirements and label claims for antibiotic content in dairy products,” said SciMed Technologies president Dr. Rajan Gupta.
The project is being funded under the Canadian Agricultural Adaptation Program.
