National Institute of Food and Agriculture grant provides training for rural veterinarians

Researchers from the Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine have received a nearly quarter-million dollar federal grant to improve rural veterinarians’ awareness of endemic, transboundary and emerging diseases of production animals. The $239,656 grant from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture is going to a Kansas State University-based team headed by Brad White, professor of production medicine and interim director of the Beef Cattle Institute.  The team will use the grant to conduct organized workshops and create online modules that enhance education and career development for rural veterinarians who work with production animals—livestock raised for food. Another goal of the grant is to enhance career opportunities for rural production animal veterinarians.
