Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 24.1968 SECOND SECTION Genetic Resistance To Poultry Disease To Be Studied Now Scientists at Cornell Univer sity have been awarded a 3-year contract with the U.S. Depart ment of Agriculture to try to learn whether it is possible to develop a poultry strain that is resistant to a costly disease. The question is a serious one, as leukosis, including Marek’s disease, increased the cost of producing and processing poul try and eggs by more than $l9O million last year. Cornell re searchers will follow up on earlier studies showing that in dividual chickens surviving an outbreak of Marek’s disease transmit a high degree of resis tance to their offsprings The 3 year contract for $64,987 is sponsored bj USDA’s Agricul tural Reseaich Service Specifically, the poultry in- .
