A Kansas State University professor of clinical sciences has written a brief on why the National Bio- and Agro-defense Facility should be located at Manhattan, Kansas. Dr. Bob Larson writes - Manhattan and the state of Kansas have a tremendous opportunity to provide essential protection to the livestock industries that are so important to Kansas and the United States.

Larson continues - in addition to the expertise at K-State, the Animal Health Corridor that extends from Manhattan, Kansas, through the Kansas City metropolitan area and St. Joseph, Missouri, to the University of Missouri at Columbia, provides a concentration of knowledge and expertise in animal health maintenance and disease prevention that is unique in the world.

According to Larson - locating the NBAF within the Animal Health Corridor leverages the infrastructure that is already in place and will enhance the communication necessary to develop solutions that meet the needs of animal owners and the public.
