posted a new issue of "Healthy Animals" at: http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/np/ha This quarterly online newsletter compiles ARS news and expert resources on
the health and well-being of agricultural animals and fish. Each quarter, one article in "Healthy Animals" focuses on a
particular element of ARS animal research. The current issue describes ARS
research on controlling avian coccidiosis. This costly disease affects
poultrys ability to absorb nutrients and can even lead to the birds
death. Web browsers may want to bookmark the site as a resource for locating animal
health experts. An index lists ARS research locations covering about 70 animal
health topics. These range from specific diseases, such as Lyme disease, to
broad subjects like nutrition or parasites. 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. To sign up to receive quarterly announcements of each new issue's arrival
