Other research highlighted in this issue includes: New cattle lack BSE-related proteins.
Mushroom extracts could be barnyard boosters.
Sequencing research helps to diagnose scrapie with greater accuracy.
Scientists decipher genetic codes of Marek's disease vaccine strains. Professionals interested in animal health issues may want to bookmark the site as a resource for locating animal health experts. An index lists ARS research locations covering approximately 70 animal health topics. These range from specific diseases, such as Lyme disease, to broad subjects like nutrition or parasites. The site also provides complete contact information for the more than 25 ARS research groups that conduct studies aimed at protecting and improving farm animal health.
