The Wisconsin Infant Study Cohort (WISC) project examines how farm environments, especially those with livestock, stimulate children’s immune systems and make them less likely to develop allergic diseases. The study began in 2013 comparing immune responses in cord blood from healthy babies born into farming environments and those born into non-farming environments. 

Katherine Barnes, program manager with the National Farm Medicine Center shares more about the study and their findings.
