USask receives funding from Agriculture Development Fund

University of Saskatchewan-affiliated Prairie Swine Centre and Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO) have received $3.5M in operational funding from the Canadian and Saskatchewan governments. The funds are part of a $7.5M investment through the SK government’s Agricultural Development Fund (ADF). “We are thankful for the ongoing support through the ADF,” said VIDO Director Dr Volker Gerdts. “Infectious diseases continue to threaten animal health and production, and this funding helps ensure our cutting-edge research and development benefits producers.” SK (SK )
