One of the longest-anticipated openings in animal health care research has been set for May 24. Senator Jerry Moran helped secure $1.25 billion in federal funding for the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility through his role on the Senate Committee on Appropriations. The facility is the nation’s only large animal facility built to handle pathogens that do not currently have treatments or countermeasures. It will open adjacent to Kansas State University and near Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan.
