Vaccine to boost beef supply via anaplasmosis shot
University of Illinois veterinarian Miodrag Ristic unveiled a live vaccine offering permanent immunity to anaplasmosis, a cattle disease causing anemia and weight loss. He projected a 20 percent gain in world beef supply, with US losses about 50 million yearly. The vaccine, not yet USDA licensed in the United States, has been tested widely and approved in Latin America, with inoculation costs estimated at 2 to 3 dollars.

No new grain deal coming
AP reports USDA maintains that a Moscow trip by assistant secretary Carroll Brunthauer yielded no new insight into Soviet grain purchases. The weeklong visit, part of planned talks, covered cooperative activities and information exchanges, not grain negotiations. Brunthaver told House subcommittee he was not briefed on Soviet needs for 1973 crops and said Moscow would gauge its own production before stating needs.
