Research and Education Council (PERC)

A profitable livestock industry relies on maintaining and improving the health of its animals. ASI’s efforts in this arena include working with the U.S. government and industry groups to prevent and control various animal diseases affecting the sheep industry. ASI has long encouraged the current effort by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to eradicate scrapie. ASI also works with USDA and many other organizations to prevent the introduction into the United States of diseases such as Foot-and-Mouth Disease and Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE).
