The long term objective is to develop commercial applications of newer biotechnological methods for vaccine development to eliminate problems resulting from diseases caused by herpesvirus. it is proposed to use the "marek's disease system" as an animal, virological and molecular model for research… More

Neogen is committed to development of diagnostics which willimprove the health of both plants and animals. using information gathered from production of antibodies which recognize various mycotoxins, similar procedures would be used to produce polyclonal antiserum in rabbits and monoclonal… More

The goal of neogen corporation is to develop diagnostics which improve plant and animal health. neogen's research and development of immunoassays for undesirable residues (e.g. mycotoxins, sulfamethazine) utilizes the same technology that may be applied to detecting desirable factors (e.g. ripening… More

A device for monitoring time temperature history is proposed. the sensing component of the device, unlike other competing sensors, does not require electronic data recovery or have a narrow temperature range of operation. the sensor functions by use of a proprietary chemical reaction to store data… More

Neogen corporation has developed numerous immunoassays currently in wide commercial practice to detect and quantify toxic residues (e.g. mycotoxins, sulfonamides). technology is currently being developed for detecting and quantifying the developmentally regulated enzyme… More

Horses and cattle are susceptible to the neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulinum Type C, one of the types of botulism. The purpose of this project is to develop a toxoid to protect horses and cattle (particularly dairy cattle) against this disease.

Type C botulism is becoming more frequent in horses in the US due to changes modernization has made in harvesting of silage fed to farm animals. This project will determine the safety of and effectiveness of an experimental toxoid for the prevention of this illness in horses.
