The Dairy Goat Extension Program

Our long-term goal is to develop strategies that improve and protect food safety by maximizing animal health and welfare while mitigating antimicrobial resistance development. Our first task is improving goat milk quality by developing effective and prudent treatment programs that maintain food safety while developing an educational outreach program for producers, processors, and veterinarians to help implement these strategies on-farm.
