AI research to lift pig productivity

The joint effort by the researchers from the University of Leeds and JSR Genetics could improve embryo implantation rates when using artificial insemination techniques. More

Grant for dairy cow fertility study

The selective breeding of dairy cattle with the sole aim of increasing milk yields has led to a serious decline in fertility. A team of researchers in Ireland now hope to find ways of reversing the trend. More

No clear link between microchip implants and tumors in animals, says WSAVA

There is little to suggest that companion animals implanted with a microchip are at a higher risk for developing a tumor, says WSAVA in response to reports of concerns about a possible link between the implantation of RFID transponders and the formation of tumors in animals. More

Breast cancer lesions similar in dogs, humans

New research shows that pre-malignant breast cancer cells in dogs are similar to those in humans. More

New Ebola lineage found in great apes

Scientists studying the Ebola virus have discovered a new lineage of the pathogen, and have found evidence of genetic recombination, a process which is extremely rare in the group of viruses to which Ebola belongs. More
