Prepare graduate students to understand the big picture of production animal industry challenges and opportunities. Encourage graduate students to develop independent, critical thinking skills, guiding them to focus on the solution and to think of possible ways to positively impact the industry using applied science.
Courses/lectures include: Livestock Disease Prevention, Field Epidemiology, Veterinary Practice Entrepreneurship and Swine Medicine Rotation.
Field-applicable research initiatives aiming to “Evaluate strategies to prevent, significantly control and/or eliminate swine infectious diseases”. Studies has been focused on PRRSv, but also included Senecavirus A and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae.
