Location   Laramie, WY

Program   Rapid Outcomes from Agricultural Research

Matching Funders   University of Wyoming

Grantee Institution   University of Wyoming

Swine brucellosis is an infectious disease affecting swine and cattle that can create significant costs for livestock producers. No gold standard test exists for accurately detecting swine brucellosis in living animals. Texas A&M and University of Wyoming researchers are developing a faster, more accurate diagnostic test for detection of swine brucellosis.
