- This $595,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will investigate how gene activity changes in liver tissue surrounding cattle liver abscesses. The research aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms behind the disruption of liver function and metabolism caused by abscesses, which lead to significant losses in the beef industry. The project will create a...
- The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded $650,000 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program to identify genetic and biological markers correlated with the development of liver abscesses in feedlot cattle.
