At the start of this month, the province of Manitoba Named a new Chief Veterinary Officer.
Dr. Glen Duizer has been in the veterinary field for nearly 30 years, acquiring knowledge to make him well-suited for this new role.
"I'm covering a wide range of animal health programs and policies and work that the Department of Agriculture does through the Chief Veterinary Office."
Dr. Duizer's work has had a strong focus on epidemiology, and biosecurity, something he will focus on moving forward.
"Promoting that, working with producers to implement that on their farms, and working with their veterinarians to assist them with implementing these activities on their farms."
Stay tuned to the noon hour edition on Monday, as Michael Brossart has the full conversation with Dr. Duizer.
