Large Animal Clinical Sciences

The Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences (LACS) promotes the health and well-being of farm animals through environmentally appropriate husbandry and population-based preventive medical practices and therapies. By modeling evidence-based animal and veterinary care and advising animal caretakers of those principles, its members strive to enhance the viability of farms and stables while providing students with practical experience, knowledge, and training to prepare the next generation of large animal veterinarians.
