The FDA has approved a drug – Experior Type A, sponsored by Elanco – that, when fed to beef cattle under specific conditions, results in less ammonia gas released as a by-product of their waste.
USDA has awarded the Division of Animal Sciences at the University of Missouri College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources $300,000 to develop the National Center for Applied Reproduction and Genomics in Beef Cattle.
