OETIS INC., FORMERLY THE ANIMAL HEALTH BUSINESS UNIT of Pfi zer, has given $100,000 for Salmonella research
to Texas Tech University, College of Agricultural Sci- ences and Natural Resources, Department of Animal and Food Sciences. The research gift will help provide resources to better understand and describe the ecol- ogy of Salmonella in cattle populations and to discover and evaluate tools that might ultimately result in a safer food supply. “We believe food-safety research is critical to the
current and future health of the cattle industry,” says Rob Kelly, vice president, U.S. Cattle and Equine Busi- ness Unit at Zoetis. “Salmonella continues to threaten human health.
With new understandings of how it interacts with livestock populations, we can develop better tools that can lead to meaningful improvements in food safety,” says Guy Loneragan, BVSc, Ph.D., epidemiologist and professor of food safety and public health at Texas Tech University. Because the Zoetis gift is allocated to research and
discovery in the area of Salmonella and not tied to a specifi c project or endowment, it has a lot of potential, Loneragan adds. “The fl exibility of this research gift ensures that we can pursue new developments as they arise.”
