As misinformation regarding the use of mRNA vaccines in livestock filter through social media, there are facts begging to be set straight.
The program offers a One Health approach to antimicrobial stewardship and combatting antimicrobial resistance. The 2024 Symposium will focus on Combatting AMR Together: Shared Commitment, Shared Success.
The decision is a key part of Canada’s response plans to control and ultimately eliminate an outbreak of FMD should it be detected in Canadian animals.
Dr. Brad White is building a multi-disciplinary team to research the issue. The team will sample over 2,400 cattle in Kansas and Texas as part of their work.
As cattle are fed to heavier end points, the incidence of BCHF is increasing. The beef industry is stepping up to help producers and veterinarians make production and selection decisions to reduce the occurrence of BCHF.
The latest Veterinary Wellbeing Study shows greater levels of job satisfaction and pride in work across veterinary teams, but challenges like student debt and a shortage of qualified veterinary team members remain.
Iowa State University’s Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (VDL) is set to revolutionize molecular diagnostic testing with the introduction of a cutting-edge machine—the “SmartChip.”
“ACTPs have the potential to make significant changes in how we treat diseases and may provide novel therapies for unmet therapeutic needs of animals,” reports Dr. Janet Woodcock, Acting Commissioner of the FDA.
Ohio State University scientists are looking for SARS-CoV-2 in animals and the environment.
In research with potential implications for breeders and wild herds, scientists have detected the presence of chronic wasting disease (CWD) prions in semen and sexual tissues of prion-infected whitetail deer bucks.
MatMaCorp has translated genetic risk factors, ARRDC3 and NFIA, into a rapid and cost-effective test for BCHF, an untreatable, fatal condition prevalent in feedlot cattle in the Western Great Plains of North America
Colorado State University has announced the creation of a first-of-its-kind collaborative to support profitable, sustainable and healthy livestock production.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) has, so far, remained confined to deer and related cervids, but scientists increasingly urge action to protect public health.
New research finds multiple effects on soil from exposure to manure from cows administered antibiotics.
In treating internal parasites in cattle, efficacy less than 100% eventually leads to at least some drug resistance.
Over the past 20 years or so, we’ve seen much of the U.S. cow herd shift toward black coats. Someday, perhaps the trend will become zebra stripes.
Michigan State University and Michigan Department of Natural Resources scientists are testing a faster, more accurate way to screen and diagnosis chronic wasting disease, or CWD, in deer.
While genetic selection strategies around the world have improved livestock productivity and consistency, a lack of genetic diversity could put food production at risk.
While environmental factors and host genetics heavily influence BRD morbidity rates, understanding the genomic and molecular biology tools also can improve our understanding of pathogens and beneficial microorganisms .
