A Midwestern university and a global leader in animal health are researching ways to improve sustainable practices in livestock production.
“We are looking to move the needle in mostly cattle health,” says the Dean of the Kansas State College of Veterinary Medicine Bonnie Rush.
Kansas State and Elanco Animal Health have signed a five-year alliance for collaborative research and intellectual property licensing for commercialization activities.
She tells Brownfield the partnership with Elanco Animal health will focus on sustainability for “alternatives to antibiotics, it means producing an animal who is less likely to get sick in the production process,” she says.
