Scottish Centre for Production Animal Health and Food Safety

University of Glasgow staff have now taken residence in the new Scottish Centre for Production Animal Health & Food Safety.

The new £2.4 million centre not only provides clinical and veterinary public health teaching for the Vet School, both at graduate and undergraduate level, but with expertise in both farm and public health issues, it also offers a unique service for referring practitioners and producers throughout Scotland and Northern England.

By making this investment, we are committing our support to agricultural communities and the rural environment, both in the UK and worldwide. The Centre will be crucial in meeting the challenges faced by agriculture both nationally and internationally, such as endemic disease control, animal welfare provenance and the possible incursion of exotic diseases, such as Foot and Mouth disease and Bluetongue.

The Scottish Centre for Production Animal Health and Food Safety will provide state-of-the-art facilities for clinical teaching and learning. Functional and innovative, it will provide biosecure, high-class animal accommodation, as well as safe handling and convenient training and treatment facilities. It will also be equipped with wet and dry laboratory space, seminar facilities and will provide a base for our Masters in Veterinary Public Health programme and Official Veterinarian training.

Please join us in our mission of supporting the agricultural and food sectors.
