Dedicated centers provide advanced facilities, equipment, and opportunities for multi-disciplinary collaboration in each of these areas.

• The Center for Comparative Epidemiology uses a multidisciplinary approach with faculty from several departments and colleges to conduct research in support of the design and implementation of effective disease control and prevention measures that will promote both animal and public health through risk analyses and collaboration with animal and public health officials.
• The Abuelo Laboratory focuses on oxidative stress' impact on vaccine responses in neonatal dairy calves, and how this dynamic affects profitability and antimicrobial use on dairy farms.
• Dr. Pamela Ruegg's Antimicrobial Stewardship and Dairy Health Management Laboratory performs and communicates research that helps dairy farmers maintain healthy cattle and use antimicrobials in a way that is both economically and socially responsible.
• The Contreras Laboratory researches dairy cows, adipose tissue, mastitis, inflammation, fatty acids, and lactation.
• The Mary Anne McPhail Equine Performance Center is a state-of-the-art facility for the study of equine muscle diseases.
• The Molecular Respiratory and Equine Genetics Laboratory is directed by Dr. Susan Ewart. The overall goals of investigators in the laboratory are two-fold: 1) To determine the molecular mechanisms of inherited diseases in the horse. 2) To understand the genetic predisposition to respiratory tract diseases in all species.
• The Gastrointestinal Stress Biology Laboratory is directed by Adam Moeser, who holds the Matilda R. Wilson Endowed Research Chair. The objective of the Gastrointestinal Stress Biology Laboratory is to gain a fundamental understanding of how stress, particularly early life stress, causes GI disease.
