A common soil bacterium may hold the key to preserving the germ-killing power of penicillin.
Like their human caretakers, dairy cows need top-notch medical care to stay healthy. Illness can drop milk production and threaten the rest of the herd, meaning a big headache and lost money for the state’s dairies.
USDA’s National Animal Health Monitoring System wants to get the word out now to raise awareness for the study and encourage them to let feedlot owners and operators they work with know about the project.
A Texas Tech researcher has received funding from both USDA and NCBA for a project to evaluate the distribution of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes and the occurrence of horizontal gene transfer in high-risk cattle.
Testing provides a scientific basis for treatments and management decisions to address diseases.
If the industry could put together all the best parts of the genome, significant production increases could be made.
An award to Texas Tech from USDA is part of a near-$3 million investment from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture to mitigate antimicrobial resistance across the food chain.
The partnership allows Elanco to work side-by-side with Purdue’s leading life science research scientists.
Viewers of Super Bowl LIV will endure a variety of over-the-top ads for otherwise undistinguished beer, trucks, fast food, other beer, insurance plans, more trucks, politicians and even the demise of a cartoon peanut.
Researchers have developed a chemical method — host and pathogen temporal interaction profiling, or HAPTIP — for labeling a living bacteria and tracking it as it invades a host cell.
New veterinary medicine research projects take on foot-and-mouth disease and African swine fever.
The American Association of Bovine Practitioners (AABP) Foundation announces the availability of two grants supporting clinical research in cattle. Each grant will be for up to $25,000.
Study Sheds Light on Future of Genome Editing in Livestock
USDA is announcing the open period to apply for 2019 funding for the National Animal Disease Preparedness and Response Program and the National Animal Health Laboratory Network.
Dramatic weather changes such as drought and parasites have created a set of new challenges for Texas beef cattle producers. Texas A&M University are putting new priority on beef production research.
Mastitis is the most expensive disease in the dairy industry. Each clinical case can cost a dairy farmer more than $400 and damages both the cow’s future output as well as her comfort.
Michigan State University has been awarded two separate $1 million grants to help fund research that aims to improve dairy cow feed efficiency.
Research highlights milk quality, udder health, mastitis research.
A team of Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and university scientists is investigating a new “ingredient” for use in vaccinating cattle against Johne’s disease.
Specific gravity test could help ensure embryo viability.
Infectious proteins called prions cause a group of related, fatal and incurable neurodegenerative disorders, including bovine spongiform encephalopathy and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
Researchers have combined two separate computer models to identify areas at highest risk for outbreaks of lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) in cattle.
Dairy management systems that facilitate natural cow behavior could improve health, reproduction and productivity.
Identifying vulnerabilities to outbreaks of Ebola and Lassa fever is possible following new research from the University of Surrey and University of Cambridge.
Dr. Amy Vincent led in profiling the genetic evolution of swine influenza type A viruses (IAV) and how this affects the animals’ immune responses to the pathogens.
Various types of algae continue to attract interest as potential sources of nutritional products for humans and animals.
Various types of algae continue to attract interest as potential sources of nutritional products for humans and animals.
A new Agricultural Research Service (ARS) study reveals, for the first time, how diet and bacteria may interact to prolong chronic diarrhea in monkeys.
Researchers at the University of Queensland and Swansea University have demonstrated that environmental factors can play a role in host specificity and the risk of outbreaks in human populations.
If you plan to submit results of controlled trials to the Journal of Dairy Science, you’ll want to learn about REFLECT.
