Assisted Reproductive Technologies Facilitate Reintroduction of Brucella abortus-Free, Genetically Pure Lineage of Bison bison to Northern Colorado
Journal Title: Journal of Veterinary Science & Medicine - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Researchers at Colorado State University have partnered with the United States Department of Agriculture to reintroduce Bison bison to northern Colorado for the first time since the 19th century. Assisted reproductive technologies have been employed to ensure that the bison are of genetically pure lineage and brucellosis-free. The herd is set to be released onto Red Mountain Open Space, owned by Larimer County, and Soapstone Prairie, owned by the city of Fort Collins, in November 2015. Research will also be conducted on the ecological and social impacts of the reintroduction.
