We develop students who are leaders in problem solving by including them in all aspects of our research programming. Our students get to stand shoulder to shoulder with our faculty as they explore and solve critical issues shared by industry producers, livestock owners, and veterinarians alike. Because of the depth and breadth of our research programming, we engage in research involving advancements in livestock management and production, human-animal interactions, developing best practices in husbandry and training, and food production and safety.<\/p>\n
Our focus and commitment are to engage with stakeholders, growers, and agricultural communities throughout Colorado. Each month, we host a webinar discussing the latest topics in animal sciences and how they intersect with our state\u2019s agriculture.<\/p>\n
