ANOTHER ELLER IN THE NEWS

DALLAS TIMES HERALD

- HOUSTON - In research that would lead to leaner beef and cows that give more milk, scientists have produced a calf with a human hormone gene and three others with extra cattle genes. The three bulls and one heifer ,Were given the extra genes while still embryos as part of a project at the Diamond G Ranch in Southeast Texas.

- In addition, 60 to 70 cows at the ranch are pregnant with genetically altered embryos.

"I'm not willing to say any of the animals we have produced or those we're about to produce will have commercial value," said Ken Bondioli, a senior scientist at Granada BioSciencies of Houston. The human gene is carried by the eldest of Granada's experimental cattle, a 15-month-old bull, researchers said Thursday. The animal has not grown as large as researchers anticipated, but they still hope the gene altering could lead to strong, healthy cattle without the use of steroids, ~aj,lvhich have been linked to heart disease and impotence.

- The purpose of these kinds of things is to prevent disease, make animals more immune to particular kinds of diseases," said David Eller, Granada's chairman. - - Researchers have experimented with gene altering in chickens, pigs, sheep and laboratory animals.
