Welcome to the Food Animal Section at Texas A&M
The Food Animal Section in the Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences at Texas A&M University includes three primary service sections; Food Animal Medicine and Surgery, Food Animal Field Services, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Veterinary Services. These services are supported by ten faculty members, two full-time veterinary technicians, and nine house officers including one food animal medicine resident. Clinical services are offered through our in-house facility at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital and through our ambulatory service. Senior veterinary students participate in all of our food animal service sections as part of their clinical training in the veterinary curriculum. Our faculty members also teach numerous classes and laboratories in the first three years of the veterinary curriculum.
In addition to our clinical responsibilities where we provide patient care to our primary and referral patients, food animal faculty are also active in other aspects of food animal veterinary medicine. Several of our faculty members provide consultation services for producers and veterinarians throughout the state addressing livestock nutrition and disease outbreaks. Members of our faculty also are active in research programs including infectious disease, environmental health, epidemiology, livestock production, and patient centered research efforts. Our faculty are recognized nationally for their expertise in their respective fields and routinely participate in continuing education and scientific programs throughout the state of Texas, across the U.S., and around the world.
