Genetically modified yeast cultures could produce cannabinoids such as THC and CBD at much lower cost.
As the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility takes shape in Manhattan, Kansas, Dr. Marty Vanier, partnership development director for the NBAF Program, looks back at the program’s achievements during the past year.
Prions, the misshapen proteins associated with transmissible spongiform encephalopathies such as BSE and CWD have a dangerous ability to persist and remain infective in spite of environmental exposure.
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.
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.
Recent news has featured the European Space Agency’s “Gaia” satellite, which has mapped most of the Milky Way galaxy, documenting the locations, color, radiation signatures and movements of 1.7 billion stars.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) did not cross the species barrier to infect cynomolgus macaque monkeys during a lengthy investigation by National Institutes of Health scientists exploring risks to humans.
The Influenza D virus (IDV) was first isolated from pigs in 2011 at the University of Minnesota.
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.
Early results from research at the University of California, Davis, indicate that a small amount of an ocean algae in cattle feed could dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions million dairy cows.
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.
Peer-reviewed articles on cattle health, science and management published in the American Association of Bovine Practitioners (AABP) Bovine Practitioner publication are available free online.
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.
Veterinarians and animal scientists likely attend at least one or two poster sessions each year during scientific conferences, but might not learn as much as they could.
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.
The germplasm collection is made up of samples of sperm, embryos, and tissues (e.g., ovaries and blood) of 167 breeds (36 species) of domesticated animals, such as cattle, pigs, chickens and sheep.
