University of minnesota college of veterinary medicine animal health and disease research program FY25 project abstract the college of veterinary medicine at the university of minnesota uses animal health and disease research funds to support research and outreach activities that improve animal health, contribute to food security, and promote stewardship in agricultural practices. With the funding, we conduct comprehensive research on prevalent animal diseases, publish findings in reputable scientific journals, and disseminate results to relevant stakeholders, ensuring that our efforts reach farmers and veterinary professionals. Funds will be used in support of applied research in agricultural animals (i.e., livestock including, but not limited to, cattle, horses, sheep/goats, pigs, poultry, and aquaculture species) or basic research that is applicable to health and disease in livestock, poultry, or aquaculture species. Key deliverables include research publications, training of future veterinary professionals in animal health research an D discovery, development of new technologies to enhance animal health and production, outreach to producers, and enhanced research infrastructure. The intended beneficiaries of our research are the scientific community, livestock producers, and the broader community, all of whom will benefit from new knowledge and technologies that improve animal health and food security measures.
