Merck Animal Health this week announced the results from the Cattle Care and Well-Being Survey, identifying resources, topics and training needed to advance cattle care and well-being.
As the search continues for reliable chute-side tests for early signs of BRD, researchers work to identify indicators beyond gross signs, body temperature and other traditional methods of field diagnosis.
As global pressures mount to reduce the use of antibiotics in food-animal production, scientists work to identify production practices and technologies to cost-effectively protect animal health and performance.
Mice actually play a key role in the transmission cycle for Lyme disease, and researchers at MIT and Harvard are exploring genomic editing as a tool for disrupting that cycle.
A new report from the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST) offers a primer on the science of genome editing, along with potential applications and challenges.
ZIVO Bioscience, Inc. recently announced positive results from a discovery-stage pilot experiment designed to test the efficacy of certain algae-based compounds against bacterial infections that cause bovine mastitis.
The collaborative 12-month program evaluates the effectiveness of training and using dogs to detect and identify waterfowl feces or carcasses infected with avian influenza (AI).
Because of its similarity to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), concerns have lingered that chronic wasting disease (CWD) in deer and other cervids could eventually could spread to cattle.
New research out of the University of Wisconsin–Madison has, for the first time, detected prions responsible for chronic wasting disease (CWD) in samples taken from sites where deer congregate.

The grant, through USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), will be used to develop The National Center for Applied Reproduction and Genomics (NCARG) in Beef Cattle.
Topics include all priority livestock and aquaculture infectious diseases (including those caused by viruses, bacteria, pests, parasites) and non-infectious diseases.
Animal scientist Phil Cardoso knew that milk protein increases when dairy cows are fed the amino acid methionine, but he suspected that the supplement might have additional health benefits.
