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.
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.
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.
Infectious proteins called prions cause a group of related, fatal and incurable neurodegenerative disorders, including bovine spongiform encephalopathy and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
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.
Researchers have combined two separate computer models to identify areas at highest risk for outbreaks of lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) in cattle.

The vaccine, tested in a mouse model, prolonged the time before infected animals developed symptoms by up to 60 per cent.
The FDA this week announced a funding opportunity and Request for Applications (RFA) for studies that can help target and define durations of use for certain medically important antimicrobial drugs approved for use in the feed of food-producing animals.
Cannabinoids could, potentially, reduce stress, improve fertility, boost feed intake and treat some chronic conditions in cattle and hogs, but commercial applications face two major barriers.
This webinar is rescheduled from the original date of December 3, 2018.
The new CAST paper outlines the need for better data sharing and accessibility to enable creative and efficient application of research results.
Understanding of the cattle microbiome can provide tools for improving animal health and productivity.
During a disease outbreak in humans or animals, some individuals are far more “competent” at spreading pathogens than others.
Gene editing technology offers potential for dramatically accelerating genetic improvement in livestock, including introduction of novel traits such as resistance to specific diseases in cattle.
A coalition of scientists aim to develop a synthetic self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) platform that could enable rapid vaccine production in response to an outbreak of infectious disease.
