The Livestock Poultry Health Programs (LPH) of Clemson University is composed of three (3) areas of service:
This organization has a major role in protecting the quality of life for humans, as well as companion and food animals. Constant surveillance for diseases that affect both man and animals, providing the diagnostic expertise that allows for treatment and eradication of disease of domestic animals, and inspection and testing of processing of foods of animal origin are daily functions of LPH. Veterinary diagnostic support for wildlife also is provided by our accredited diagnostic laboratory.
Our mission also encompasses an expanding role in food safety and emergency preparedness.
As primary agency for ESF-17 in the State Emergency Operations Plan, our multi-agency coordination of statewide animal emergency response plans provides protection for livestock and wildlife, as well as supporting public health and safety.
