Attention Red Poll Breeders and anyone that wants to attend.
This is a seminar you won't want to miss during the National Meeting and Sale in Sedalia, MO, October 19, 20, 2013.
"The Discovery of Natural Determinants of Susceptibility to Infection in Cattle"
by
Steve Carlson, DVM, PhD
Iowa State University
Ames, Iowa
Dr. Carlson has discovered a gene in cattle, termed the Phenotype Salmonella Resistant gene, or PSR. He and his coworkers have shown that the presence of the PSR gene confers natural resistance to Salmonella infection in cattle. Even more important to our breed is that this natural resistance is further enhanced in non-black coated cattle. These factors have implications in both animal health and food safety for our breed. What if you can tell your meat customers that in addition to its other attributes, Red Poll beef is naturally safer? Come with questions and take part in this interesting and highly relevant seminar on Saturday, October 19th.
