Research in pigs suggests the natural amino acid glutamine, used as a feed additive, could provide a viable alternative to antibiotics fed for growth promotion and gut health.

Human antibodies made in genetically engineered cows have proved safe in an early stage clinical trial, U.S. scientists said on Wednesday, and could be developed into a treatment for the fatal viral disease, MERS.

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.
