This view emerged at the international conference on 'Emerging infectious diseases of animals and biotechnological applications,' jointly organised by Tamil Nadu Vet erinary and Animal Sciences University (TANUVAS) and Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in the city on Monday.

CHENNAI: A team of researchers from the Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University has successfully produced an improved vaccine for combating anthrax attack on cattle.

Vice-Chancellor P. Thangaraju said the improved vaccine, based on montanide, would be animal-friendly. The glycerine-based vaccine used on cattle earlier, at times resulted in side effects. It would also cost less than the glycerine-based vaccine.

Reports that cattle have been struck by different kinds of disease in Canacona and Ponda talukas is disturbing news for the 180-odd dairy societies in the state, as well as for the Goa Dairy, which already imports most of its milk from neighbouring Maharashtra and Karnataka.
