Invoice of for Animal science

Foot and mouth disease is a severe and highly contagious virus affecting cattle and swine. It could shut down the economy in Nebraska and surrounding states over night. Alan Doster says the Nebraska Veterinary Diagnostic Center is at the frontline of defense against a variety of threatening diseases. We diagnose animal diseases similar to what you diagnose in a hospital and that and many times it can involve a lot of animals, many thousands of animals, so it's very important for us to get a diagnosis out to the producer and the veterinarian that they can go ahead and treat. The $46 million facility at the University of Nebraska came together with the help of state law makers. We've got a lot of support from the Nebraska legislature, the Nebraska cattlemen, the various commodity groups. The Nebraska Veterinary Medical Association were very, very integral in pushing this building to the legislature and getting it past. Strict bio-security standards ensure safety and diagnostic and research labs are equipped with the latest tools for the job. For example, the multi TOFF technology identifies bacteria in minutes, a process that used to take 24 hours or longer. It can get results the same day to the client, let them know what they're dealing with. Animal science researchers at Nebraska benefit from the strength of the new center. The diagnostic is on the cutting edge, so many times then we see these new diseases way before the researchers do, so we can say hey, look, there's something funny here, give them the organism or the virus and turn around and let them work on it. The facility is also home to the next generation of veterinarians. This our classroom that we use every single day for pretty much all of our classes save for laboratory and the laboratory's fantastic too. We've got all new microscopes and it's just a great facility for what we need. The Nebraska Veterinary Diagnostic Center plays a key role in protecting the health of animals and the state's largest economic sector.
