Researchers study
animal
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Scientists will look for new ways to
keep farm animals healthy,
contented and highly productive to
produce the nation’s meat, milk
and eggs in research funded by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Terry B. Kinney, acting ad
ministrator of USDA’s
Agricultural Research Service,
said today a $380,000 research
project will seek to discover
whether stress is affecting the
production of poultry, veal calves
and swine under modern farming
practices; and if so, how to deal
with it.
“Both fanners and the public
have an interest in sound animal
management,” Kinney said. “For
the farmer, good animal
management means better, more
economical production and higher
net returns. For the public, it
means more plentiful and more
economical food supplies.”
Kinney said the new research
will be conducted at the USDA
agency’s Roman L. Hruska Meat
Animal Research Center in Gay
Center, Neb., and at eight
universities.
“We are looking for ways to
determine whether stress exists
under confinement conditions,” he

said. “If stress is found as a result
of the experiments, then attempts
will be made to alleviate the stress
through housing and management
procedures.
“Animals must receive adequate
nutrition, proper housing and
veterinary care and be properly
selected genetically to be
productive,” Kinney continued.
“Ongoing scientific information
about farm animal care is needed
as agriculture adopts new prac
tices. What we learn from the
research will help farmers with
their animal management.”
Kinney, whose agency will
coordinate the project, said the
effects of stress on the behavior of
farm animals can lead to weight
loss, reduction in growth rate and
susceptibility to disease.
Institutions doing the research
will be Cornell University,
University of Georgia, University
of Illinois, University of Min
nesota, Texas A&M University,
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and
State University, Washington State
University and University of
Wisconsin.
Robert R. Oltjen, director of the
Hruska U.S. Meat Animal
Research Center, will coordinate
the studies.
