Research Program
Dr. Ayers is
currently collaborating with Dr. Beth Mamer at the University of
Idaho's Caine Veterinary Teaching Center concerning Johne's disease in
sheep and goats. Dr. Ayers is looking at comparisons between testing
methods and sample types. His goal is to find the most accurate and
cost effective means of testing in sheep and goats that will allow the
formulation of strategies for eliminating the disease from a flock or
herd.
Other areas of
interest are bovine nutrition, reproduction, effects of drought on
bovine performance, and passive transfer of colostral immunity.
