Established in 1981, the UAF Reindeer Research Program takes an
active role in developing and promoting the reindeer industry
in Alaska. In the last 16 years, the program has: developed a
Brucellosis vaccine for reindeer, researched Ivermectin which
led to its approved use in reindeer, maintained a herd record
keeping system for research and management needs, improved reindeer
husbandry techniques and studied the effects of predator-induced
mortality on reindeer.
