Scientists Awarded Grant to Probe Genetic Resistance for PRRS
2013-01-10 18:46:00| National Hog Farmer
Source: Iowa State University A team of researchers at Iowa State University (ISU) has received a $3 million grant to study genetic resistance to the costliest disease threatening the pork industry and transfer this technology to the industry. The researchers, led by Jack Dekkers, an ISU professor of animal science, will seek to identify genes in pigs that make them less susceptible to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), a viral disease that costs U.S. pork producers about $664 million a year. read more
