I think the biggest thing—and I'll focus more on the animal health side—is to have panels to test for things like bovine respiratory disease, which is the largest single animal-health issue in the feedlots. Previously, the tests were very time-consuming and they could only test for one kind of parasite or bacteria, and those types of things. Now the panels being developed through biotech can test for five or six. That's of huge benefit, because, first of all, because it reduces the amount of testing time but also because it better isolates the cause such that new vaccinations can be developed more quickly. Basically, if we're able to develop vaccinations around this, we're able to reduce antimicrobial use in these areas.
