This research gives a comprehensive overview of the use of antibiotics in livestock production, highlighting both the benefits and the risks associated with their use. The benefits, such as improving immunity, digestion, and reducing infections, are contrasted with the growing concern over antibiotic residues and the development of drug resistance. The shift towards alternatives like probiotics is explored as a sustainable solution, with a specific focus on lactic acid bacteria (LAB) found in the digestive systems of livestock. Thailand’s regulations, which control antibiotic use in animal feed, are also discussed, setting the stage for the study on LAB as a potential replacement for imported probiotics. 1. Use of Antibiotics in Livestock: Antibiotics have been used to promote growth, improve digestion, and prevent infections in livestock. However, the improper use of antibiotics can lead to residues in animal products and the development of drug-resistant bacteria. 2. Global Trends in Antibiotic Use: Many countries, like the European Union and Japan, have banned antibiotics as growth promoters, while others, like China and the U.S., are planning similar bans. 3. Thailand's Approach: Thailand has implemented a regulation since September 2020 to control the use of antibiotics in animal feed, requiring control at both feed mills and farms that mix their own feed. 4. Probiotics as an Alternative: Probiotics, particularly lactic acid bacteria (LAB), are being studied as an alternative to antibiotics. LAB are naturally found in the digestive tracts of livestock and are considered beneficial for maintaining gut health and replacing the need for antibiotics. The study examines the potential of LAB from Thai livestock (broilers, pigs, and cattle) as a sustainable alternative to imported probiotics, aiming to overcome issues like low survival rates of foreign probiotics in practice.

With the urgent need for rapid screening of Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) due to its association with increased liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma cases from contaminated agricultural foods, we propose a novel electrochemical aptasensor. This aptasensor is based on trimetallic nanoparticles AuPt-Ru supported by reduced graphene oxide (AuPt-Ru/RGO) modified on a low-cost and disposable goldleaf electrode (GLEAuPt-Ru/RGO) for detection of AFB1. The trimetallic nanoparticle AuPt-Ru was synthesized using an ultrasonic-driven chemical reduction method. The synthesized AuPt-Ru exhibited a waxberry-like appearance, with AuPt core-shell structure and ruthenium dispersed over the particles. The average particle size was 57.35 ± 8.24 nm. The AuPt-Ru was integrated into RGO sheets (inner diameter of 0.5 to 1.6 µm) in order to enhance electron transfer efficiency and increase the specific immobilizing surface area of the thiol-5’-terminated modified aptamer (Apt) to target AFB1. With a large electrochemical surface area and low electrochemical impedance, GLEAuPt-Ru/RGO displays ultra-high sensitivity for AFB1 detection. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurements revealed a linear range for AFB1 detection range from 0.3 to 30.0 pg mL-1 (R2 = 0.9972), with a limit of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) and a limit of quantification (LOQ, S/N = 10) of 0.009 pg mL-1 and 0.031 pg mL-1, respectively. The developed aptasensor also demonstrated excellent accuracy in real agricultural products, including dried red chili, garlic, peanut, pepper, and Thai jasmine rice, achieving recovery rates between 94.6 and 107.9%. The fabricated aptamer-based GLEAuPt-Ru/RGO performance is comparable to that of a modified commercial electrode, which has great potential application prospects for detecting AFB1 in agricultural products.

This project focuses on developing a test device for an AC charger for electric vehicles according to the IEC 61851-1 Annex A standard by simulating the test circuit inside an electric vehicle according to the standard to test the operation of the AC charger. The test topic is related to the communication between the electric vehicle and the charger via a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control circuit system and creating an operation manual (WI) to prepare for testing in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 standards, which are general requirements for laboratory capabilities in conducting tests and/or calibrations. The overall picture of this project is to develop test equipment and create an operation manual by collecting knowledge and various devices and then comparing the data to meet the abovementioned standards to test the Type II AC charger in each state. The test equipment consists of a communication part between the test equipment and the AC charger using a PLC S7-1200 and an HMI to control the operation of the switches in the test equipment circuit, including controlling parameters and displaying results. The equipment used to measure values is an oscilloscope and a multimeter that have undergone a calibration process to comply with the specified standards.
