Kentucky Statewide Food Animal Health Risk Surveillance and Disease Cluster Detection Initiative

The overall goal of this project is to fully implement an integrated Kentucky-wide animal health information system that fuses diagnostic and farm-level syndromic health data streams from two full-service veterinary laboratories and the Office of the State Veterinarian (OSV). The integration of these data will aid animal health officials to manage day-to-day disease outbreaks, emerging diseases, and provide early detection of a possible agroterrorist event.
