Other research highlighted in this issue includes:
- A new, eco-friendly barley for forage;
- The release of avian influenza genome sequences; and
- Efforts to protect oysters from burrowing shrimp.
Professionals interested in animal health issues may want to bookmark the site as a resource for locating animal health experts.

The site also provides complete contact information for the more than 25 ARS research groups that conduct studies aimed at protecting and improving farm animal health.
