Film: Building Immunity to Gastrointestinal Nematodes in Goats by March Forth Creative

Testing goat saliva could lead to improved herd immunity. Dr. Emma Borkowski and her team investigated the potential of identifying animals capable of mounting a superior immune response to gastro-intestinal nematodes by screening for antibody in goat saliva. Their research provides guidelines for use of the CARLA Test® under Canadian grazing conditions. Find out what’s happening in the lab at the University of Guelph and in goat barns across Ontario!
