The University of Calgary’s Faculty of Veterinary Medicine has received $9M from the Government of Alberta. This three-year investment will fund the Diagnostic Services Unit, which UCalgary says is AB’s only laboratory offering routine in-province livestock diagnostics. The Diagnostic Services Unit protects against animal diseases that could impact public health and the province’s economic stability. “Securing this funding is not just about increasing services essential for animal health; it’s about investing in Alberta’s economic future,” said UCalgary Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Dean Dr Renate Weller. “By enhancing our diagnostic capabilities, we can reduce reliance on out-of-province testing and keep valuable resources within Alberta.”
