Project name: One Health Care Service - Rapid Test and PCR Test Kit
Entity information: A science and production startup company. The primary operation of the company is a public health and food safety-oriented consultancy service, training, and development of rapid tests and PCR test kits and manufacturing and services.
Project objective: Develop a rapid test kit for meat and dairy products to be used in a non-laboratory location and a PCR test kit for comparison and verification of food safety. Enable the actual application of diagnostic kits of meat and dairy products from the procurement to the end-user delivery.
Planned activities: Research and development operations to develop rapid test and PCR test kits
Proposed solutions: The laboratory kits used in the veterinary sector are roughly 100 percent imported. Hence, the biggest problem we face is the uncertainty of the hygiene and safety of agricultural products from the source and the existing practice of issuing certificates without laboratory tests. As a result of this project, the laboratory testing skills and capabilities will be improved at the soum, province, and state level; centralize the test results to www.shinjilgee.mn of the State Central Laboratory of Veterinary and Hygiene Services; and will introduce a registration and tracking system. The development of new technology and innovation and implementation of the above-stated rapid test methods will enable opportunities to consume healthy and safe food for end-consumers, facilitate the accuracy of laboratory tests, and will save significant time and effort.
Beneficiaries: Direct beneficiaries are 567 herders in 55 baghs and 19 soums of 2 target provinces, 277 specialists of the animal husbandry sector, 5 laboratories, 2 meat factories, 2 dairy farms, and 2-3 slaughterhouses. Indirect beneficiaries are the State Central Laboratory of Veterinary and Hygiene Services, the National Reference Laboratory for Food Safety of the General Professional Inspection Agency, and the Metropolitan Professional Inspection Agency.
Project location: Target soums and baghs of Tuv and Khentii provinces.
