Description

Defra procuring on behalf of the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA). APHA have appointed the Contractor to supply Specified Pathogen Free (SPF) chicken (Gallus gallus) eggs for laboratory diagnostic and research purposes. APHA’s range of responsibilities includes statutory work for the UK government for disease control through surveillance activities, research and consultancy. A number of these animal related research and surveillance activities, such as vaccine development and identification of types of disease, require SPF chicken eggs to provide tissues, embryos and live birds. It’s important that these Eggs are free of specified pathogens or extraneous agents, as they could cause infection or contaminate the work. In addition there is a legal requirement that Eggs used in the production and quality controls of vaccines are free from specified pathogens.
