Genetic clues offer insight into U.K. TB spread
There is fresh insight into the ongoing bovine tuberculosis (TB) outbreak in the U.K. regarding how the disease may be spreading among cattle herds and badger populations.
According to new research conducted by the University of Edinburgh's Roslin Institute, TB in cattle and badgers passes between members of the same species at least twice as often as it does between a cow and badger.

Cows hold promise in future food systems
Animal agriculture often endures criticism for its alleged contributions to the global climate change problem, with some naysayers ranking the industry second only to the population explosion as a root contributor to global warming and other weather-related devastation, according to an announcement from the University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary Medicine (Penn Vet).

ADSA Members - It's Time to Renew
ADSA asks our readers who work for companies and organizations with an interest in the dairy industry "Did You Know" about Corporate Sustaining Membership
Corporate Sustaining Member dues are still only $1,000.00. This is half of what similar animal science societies charge for a comparable benefit package and they have not increased in over 15 years. Your representative will have electronic access to JDS, can attend Discover Conferences and subscribe to S-PAC at the ADSA professional member rate. Corporate Sustaining Members who require company-wide electronic access to JDS can contact Elsevier for a corporate subscription for an additional charge.
The Corporation is the Member, not to the corporate representative; if the corporate representative leaves the corporation, the membership is transferred to the new corporate representative.
