| dc.description | The Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture (NAFA) was established in 1964 as part of an agreement between FAO and IAEA to promote food and agriculture through nuclear technological means. This included atomic (stable isotopes), nuclear (radioactive tracers) and nuclear related and nuclear derived technologies. The Animal Production and Health Section (APH), one of the five sections of NAFA, has celebrated a historic 50 years in 2014. Since its inception in 1964, t he APH has conducted numerous activities and has had a long series of technical successes. Two of the best known achievements were the Section’s development and establishment of the radioimmunoassay platform that measures progesterone to monitor reproductive performance and improve fertility of livestock, and the Section’s unique contributions towards the eradication of rinderpest through the development and distribution of validated and standardized ELISA kits, and the provision of training, an d a laboratory quality assurance programme to IAEA and FAO Member States. | |
