About 'florida state university economics'|Billionaire's role in hiring decisions at Florida State University raises questions








The               United               States               Food               and               Drug               Administration               estimates               more               than               35               million               head               of               cattle               are               raised               and               slaughtered               in               the               United               States               each               year.

Beef               cattle               send               to               feedlots               for               approximately               120               days               to               gain               weight               prior               to               slaughter.

According               to               US               Department               of               Agriculture               (USDA),               placements               in               feedlots               in               July               2006,               totaled               1.96               million,               17               percent               increase               from               July               2005,               and               14               percent               above               2004.

During               July               2006,               placement               of               cattle               and               calves               in               feedlots               weighted               less               than               600               pounds               were               570,000               head,               600               to               699               pounds               were               403,000               head,               700               to               799               pounds               were               490,000               head               and               800               pound               and               greater               were               500,000               head.

When               a               cow               or               calve               gets               sick,               remains               longer               at               a               feedlot,               until               it               regains               weight.

Some               experts               estimated               that               two               or               three               percent               of               beef               cattle               are               sick               at               any               given               time.

Identifying               a               sick               animal               is               the               responsibility               of               cowhands               that               ride               every               day,               through               feed               pens.

If               an               animals               is               identified,               by               a               runny               nose               or               watery               eyes,               would               be               removed               from               the               herd               and               taken               to               a               hospital               pen               to               be               given               medication               and               reduced               amount               of               food,               until               the               animal               is               restored               to               health.

One               of               the               major               health               concerns               related               to               cattle               is               preventing               or               diagnosing               immediately               mad               cow               disease               or               Bovine               Spongiform               Encephalopathy               (BSE),               a               slowly               progressive,               degenerative               fatal               disease,               affecting               the               central               nervous               system               of               adult               cattle.

The               United               States               Department               of               Agriculture               immediately               requires               the               cow's               meat               not               enter               the               food               supply               and               /               or               traced               from               the               marketplace.

In               2003,               exports               of               American               beef               worth               $3.9               billion               subsequently,               Japan               worth               is               $1.4               billion.

Worldwide               the               United               States               exports               beef               to               69               countries,               not               including               Japan.

Greatest               concern               of               beef               industry,               identify               as               soon               as               possible               a               cow               identified               with               mad               cow               disease               and               quickly               identify               any               animals               that               are               sick,               which               need               to               be               destroyed               or               provide               treatment.

A               new               technology               is               available               to               identify               sick               animals               sooner               then               previously               possible,               and               knowing               their               location.
               In               2003,               TeKVet               (formerly               COLT               Technologies),               LLC               was               formed               through               a               privately               held               Utah               -               based               developer               and               manufacturer               of               agricultural               technologies.

According               to               DeeVon               Bailey,               a               USU               professor               of               agricultural               economics               stated               (Internet               IPCommunications.com               Article               dated               July               10,               2006:               "Ear               sensor               tracks               health               of               cattle):               "Core               body               temperature               is               the               best               indicator               of               health               in               most               large               animals."               Also,               information               provides               animal's               location.
