Many recently arrived Somali refugees have lost all of their animals to the ravishing effects of a prolonged drought in Somalia.

Like cattle ranchers. I’ve just spent the good part of an hour wandering their world — reading about their concerns (water, wolves, the economy), seeing how cattle breeding has changed (you pick a sire at Bullsemen.com, then do genomic profiling on your stock — did you know that cows bred for docility have more tender meat ?), and learning that ranchers are not immune to marketing from the world of scientific woo. Check this out — it’s called SOP Life Vibration or “Serio Bio-Hygienization.” They’re selling it to farmers and ranchers in Europe and the U.S. as the latest and greatest answer to bacterial growth...

He’s trying to eliminate violence towards cattle by instilling low-stress ways of dealing with cows. Pate is sponsored by The Beef Checkoff Program, among other beef industry partners, who are hoping to improve the image of the beef industry after a widely-circulated video of a rancher beating cows and prodding them with pitchforks surfaced on the internet. Pate says that if you think like a cow, the cattle will understand you. And then you won’t need to prod them with pitchforks. Some people would argue that farming cattle in ge...

For instance, about 549,000 animals were used in experiments in 2000 and the number rose steadily to roughly 769,000 in 2008 before declining. Over the past 10 years, more than 3 million mice were chosen for testing safety, quality control, efficacy and ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination/excretion), making them far and away the most popular creatures, followed by rats at 1.83 million; 266,000-plus rabbits; 400,000 or so fish; 150,000 fowl; 97,000 beagles; 53,000 monkeys; roughly 27,000 pigs and about 22,000 cattle. Last year, however, the...

The consulting firm has just released a report concluding that, despite expanded coverage that will increase revenue, overall drug sales will decline by 4.3 percent from what they would have been otherwise between 2010 and 2019. The bill increases Medicaid rebates, expands discounts to 340b hospitals, requires Medicare Part D discounts and adds a big fees over 10 years. Specifially, a typical big pharma should see a 4 percent drop in revenue, and a large generic drugmaker should see a 2 percent boost. Meanwhile, a medium-size drugmaker with low government sales should expect only a 1 percent decline, but a large drugmaker with lots of government sales can expect a 7 percent drop. ...
