This federal Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Veterinary Services Grant Program (CFDA 10.336), aims to address the shortage of veterinarians capable of providing care for food and fiber animals in the state of Delaware. The $125,000 grant, awarded on August 1, 2024, will allow Four State Veterinary Services LLC to purchase a reliable practice vehicle, portable veterinary clinic, and x-ray equipment to perform on-farm visits for livestock such as beef and dairy cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, llamas, alpacas, and poultry. This will improve the availability and efficiency of veterinary services for food-producing animals across the state, helping to ensure the health and safety of agricultural products for consumers. The project, scheduled for completion by July 31, 2027, is expected to have a lasting impact on Delaware's agricultural industry and food supply.
