- This five-year $650,000 Project Grant from the US Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) will fund the development of chitosan microparticles as an alternative treatment for metritis in dairy cows. Metritis is a common post-partum uterine infection in dairy cows, affecting around 20% of herds on average. While antibiotics are commonly used, success rates are less than 75% and...
- This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310), provides $994,586.00 to study the effectiveness of new rules and technologies in reducing the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria on dairy farms. The 5-year project, awarded on July 15, 2025, will focus on 4 main goals: 1) Assessing the impact of regulations on limiting antibiotic use in animals and...
- The federal Project Grant award of $900,000.00 was provided by the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) program. The grant is funding research at the University of California, Davis to externally validate and optimize a deep artificial neural network (ANN) model that can predict the spontaneous cure of metritis, a common bovine disease, in dairy cows. The research aims to integrate...
- This $221,322 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 supports research to improve antimicrobial stewardship and best practices for reducing illness and death in beef cattle herds due to bovine anaplasmosis. The project aims to measure the consumption of chlortetracycline-medicated mineral supplements by cattle on pasture and determine the resulting antibiotic...
- This Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, CFDA 10.310, provides $211,163 to Texas Tech University System to investigate the role of macrophages and endothelial cells in fat tissue of dairy cattle during the transition from pregnancy to lactation. The researchers will collect fat tissue samples from dairy cows before and after calving, as well as cows experiencing metabolic stress, to...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $650,000 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) to Texas Tech University System. The project aims to study how ketosis, a common health issue in dairy cows, affects the function and structure of fat tissue in different areas of the cow's body. Specifically, the research will (1) examine changes in the genetics of fat cells, (2) investigate alterations to the...
- This federal Project Grant award of $779,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research to improve the understanding and management of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in cattle. The key objectives are to study how the bacterium Mycoplasma bovis contributes to BRD, particularly in the early stages of the disease, and how it interacts with other pathogens. This...
