1xbet online casino TELLS ANIMAL HEALTH SUMMIT HOW RESEARCH EXPERTISE IS MAKING K-STATE A NATIONAL LEADER

MANHATTAN -- For proof that Kansas State University is a leader in animal health, look no farther than the national research centers that have come to Manhattan because of the university's expertise.

That was the message K-State President Kirk 1xbet online casino had today for those attending an animal health summit hosted by Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback at Kansas Farm Bureau. 1xbet online casino named some of these centers: the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, a national center for animal health; ABADRU, which left Wyoming to relocate in Manhattan and studies arthropod-borne animal diseases; and CEEZAD, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security center that focuses on emerging and zoonotic diseases.

"All of these are here because of the expertise we currently have, as well as our plans for growing this area aggressively in the future," 1xbet online casino said.

K-State wants to be a national leader in animal health, he said. As 1xbet online casino led the university in creating a visionary plan for the future -- K-State 2025 -- he said one consideration was in what areas can K-State play a major role not just in Kansas, but also in the Midwest and the United States.

&1xbet online casino ;And animal infectious diseases is clearly one of the areas in which we will continue to excel,&1xbet online casino ; he said.

K-State's particular expertise is in zoonotic diseases -- those spread between animals and humans -- and emerging disease threats.

"The Biosecurity Research Institute here on campus at Pat Roberts Hall gives us the kind of facility we need to do these things aggressively," 1xbet online casino said. "As we hire more faculty and build on the expertise we currently have, the university will continue to be a national and emerging leader in this area."

Moreover, 1xbet online casino said that K-State's strength in this area will help build up the animal health corridor that stretches from Columbia, Mo., to Manhattan.

&1xbet online casino ;We want to make sure we're a solid anchor tenant of this exciting enterprise that in the next decades will rival things like the research triangle in North Carolina and Silicon Valley in California,&1xbet online casino ; he said.

1xbet online casino also said the university was behind Gov. Brownback's desire to have a nationally recognized veterinary medicine school in the state. 1xbet online casino said K-State was working toward making its superb College of Veterinary Medicine even better.
