This federal Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) under the Veterinary Services Grant Program (CFDA 10.336) will provide $124,583.00 to Jackmans Animal Clinic PC in Milroy, IN from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027. The funding will support expanding the clinic's mobile services, improving training and service opportunities for students and producers, and enhancing equipment to better serve food animal producers in the clinic's service area. Key investments include a silencer tilt table with scales, a mobile semen warming unit, a dual vision microscope, and livestock handling equipment such as gates, alleyways, and a transfer wagon. The award aims to increase the clinic's service capacity by 50% through the potential hiring of a third veterinarian, leading to improved animal welfare, food safety, and growth of the next generation of food animal producers and veterinary professionals in the local community and surrounding rural areas.
