This Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Veterinary Services Grant Program (CFDA 10.336) will provide $125,000.00 to Twisted Road Veterinary Services, LLC to construct an ambulatory veterinary practice and deliver services to support animal agriculture in rural northwestern Wisconsin. The funding will enable the awardee to establish a veterinary practice capable of providing on-farm care, herd health monitoring, and consulting services to local farmers. Key activities include offering reduced-rate services during the first year to help farmers realize the economic benefits, as well as continued support and education for county fairs, 4H, and FFA associations. Success will be measured by monitoring herd performance metrics such as pregnancy rates, live births, and incidence of sick animals. This award aims to address veterinarian shortage situations and support veterinary services in rural areas to bolster the sustainability and profitability of animal agriculture in the region.
