(bird feeds and medications), Dr. Meyer spent three more years finding an effective way to impregnate the birds' feed with the antibiotic in a uniform and stable concentration. A few months ago, Dr. Meyer put a batch of disease-ridden parakeets on his medicated seed, sent another batch to the University...
