We have 3 new features this week: Protecting UK Livestock From The Threat Of Viral Disease The successes in disease control and future challenges were discussed at a meeting organised by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and Institute for Animal Health (IAH) in London on 17 March, writes Jackie Linden, Senior Editor of TheCattleSite. Grasses For The Future Dr Michael Casler, United States Department of Agriculture?s Agriculture Research Service, summarises the main points from the international conference ?Perennial ryegrasses: current and future genetic potential?, which took place last October, at Teagasc, Ireland. RobustMilk: Improving Dairy Cow Robustness RobustMilk is a project that has been funded through the EU Framework 7 Programme to join together six world-leading research organisations within EU that are actively working in dairy cattle breeding and have strong links with the dairy industry. It is called Innovative and Practical Breeding Tools for Improved Dairy Products from More Robust Dairy Cattle abbreviated to RobustMilk for ease of use (and speed!), explained Roel Veerkamp, at the British Cattle Breeders Conference 2011. ![]()
