BMRT’s Revolutionary Technology Can Instantly Detect Infected Poultry, Preventing the Unnecessary Slaughter of Healthy Animals

STUART, Fla., March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In response to the escalating crisis of mass poultry culling due to avian influenza (bird flu), Base Molecular Resonance™ Technologies (BMRT) today announced a breakthrough application of its multi-patented Base Molecular Resonance™ (BMR™) technology that can detect infected animals instantly, eliminating the need for indiscriminate mass slaughter. With this revolutionary advancement, BMRT is poised to transform disease detection in food supply chains, preserving global food security while reducing economic and environmental waste.

The Cost of Bird Flu: Financial and Agricultural Impact

Since the onset of the current avian influenza outbreak, more than 166 million birds, including chickens and turkeys, have been culled in the United States many of which were not infected. Testing data indicates that only 5-10% of these birds would have likely tested positive for the virus. In the last quarter alone, over 20 million egg-laying chickens were culled, further tightening egg supplies and driving up prices. These indiscriminate culling practices have cost poultry farmers hundreds of millions of dollars, impacting food production and straining supply chains.

As a result, egg prices have surged in response from $2.50 to $5.63, reaching as high as $12 in some areas. BMRT’s technology provides an immediate and scalable solution to this crisis by enabling real-time precision-based disease detection, ensuring that only infected birds are culled while healthy flocks remain intact.

Preventing Unnecessary Livestock Loss with Precision Scanning

The current approach to containing avian influenza involves mass culling, often resulting in the destruction of millions of birds, many of them perfectly healthy. BMRT’s non-invasive, instantaneous scanning technology provides an alternative that distinguishes infected birds from healthy ones in real time, preventing unnecessary destruction of food supplies while maintaining disease control.

According to Robert “Bo” Short, BMRT Co-Founder & CEO, “Right now, millions of chickens are being slaughtered out of fear rather than necessity. Our technology eliminates that uncertainty. With a simple scan, we can pinpoint infected animals with 100% accuracy, allowing farmers and regulators to respond with surgical precision instead of widespread devastation. This is a major step forward for global food security, animal welfare, and the agricultural economy.”

Expanding to Cattle, Pork, and Beyond

Beyond poultry, BMRT’s molecular resonance technology can be adapted to detect diseases in cattle, swine, and other livestock, helping to prevent devastating outbreaks such as Mad Cow Disease, African Swine Fever, and Foot-and-Mouth Disease to name a few. With food supply disruptions becoming an increasing global concern, BMRT’s cutting-edge detection capabilities have the potential to redefine safety standards across the agricultural sector.

“Bird flu is just the beginning,” added Lee Duke, BMRT Co-Founder & President. “We can detect disease in livestock at the molecular level before symptoms even appear, allowing for rapid intervention that safeguards the food supply and protects farmers from catastrophic losses. This is the future of disease detection.”

Independently Validated for Unmatched Accuracy

BMRT’s technology has been independently validated by a third-party study conducted by the Center for Applied Innovation at York St. John University in England. The landmark study confirmed BMRT’s 100% accuracy in detecting gunpowder, illegal drugs, cancer and other threats in both blind and double-blind tests, with no false positives or false negatives. The same precision and reliability now apply to disease detection in the agricultural industry, making it possible to safeguard global food supplies with unprecedented efficiency.

A New Era for Agriculture and Food Security

As governments, regulatory agencies, and food producers struggle to contain the economic and ethical fallout of mass livestock culling, BMRT’s solution offers a revolutionary path forward. By deploying this safe, rapid, and non-invasive screening technology, the industry can replace fear-driven responses with precision-based disease management, ensuring food stability without compromising public health.

About Base Molecular Resonance™ Technologies (BMRT)
BMRT has discovered a new area of Quantum Physics that utilizes resonant frequencies to detect particle interactions at subatomic levels. This technology, called Base Molecular Resonance™ (BMR™), can detect any compound or biological substance, including every element on the periodic table, and up to 200 cancers and other diseases. With over 20 years of prototyping and testing proving its unmatched detection capabilities, BMR™ has the potential to save millions of lives by pinpointing weapons, explosives, and other physical threats both up close and at great distances, and detecting cancers and other diseases long before they present clinical symptoms. The non-invasive, harmless, and instant scan has broad implications in cancer diagnostics, public safety, law enforcement, security, and military services.
