When Dr. Tapakorn Chamchoy began looking into programs that would give him solid training in statistical analysis and diagnostic test evaluation, he couldn’t imagine that would involve visiting California dairy farms to obtain fecal slurry samples. But that’s where his Master of Preventive Veterinary Medicine (MPVM) degree took him.

Dr. Chamchoy presented his research in late May, 2019 entitled “Environmental sampling to assess the bio-burden of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis on drylot pens on California dairies” under advisors Drs. Sharif Aly, Deniece Willimans, and John Adaska at our Tulare facility.
