The University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine Secure Food Systems team has received $1 million in USDA grant funds to consider strategies for biosecurity. Associate Professor Dr. Marie Culhane said biosecurity begins at the farm level. “Another level of biosecurity is for the system of farms that you’re involved with. Let’s say you are a pig farmer and you are the finisher and your brother is three miles away with the nursery. You’d want to have biosecurity within the entire system.” The funding for this research was designated last year and does not impact current COVID-19 research.
