Hi, I am very glad to join this group. I am very interested in animal health, animal nutrition, animal welfare, poultry diseases and poultry production.

I have been reading a lot about the pros and cons of annual boosters and would like to know, from your point of view.

Are they necessary each year?

What do you recommend, a PO mineral (salt) intake or IM mineral to cattle? I observed that in a herd of cattle not all the animals have the same access to salt and there are a lot of losses due to weather and other factors. Are we losing money offering salt to cattle?

I am applying for ACU Titular Fellowship 2011. As part of the application process a potential host in any commonwealth University other than home country will boost the application chances of success. I am therefore looking for a willing host to carry out my research on the comparative evaluation of seeds and leaves of three species of Senna for use in human and livestock diets. It will be at no cost to the university as the ACU Titular Fellowship management will pay at least 5000 pounds sterling for the research. I would be grateful for quick response as I will then send the draft of the proposal to such a willing potential host to peruse before final acceptance.

Thanks
