EPIC Scotland’s research is aligned with the priorities of the Scottish livestock industry and veterinarian community. This localized approach ensures that EPIC's research findings and recommendations are tailored to the priorities that define the region and are relevant to the challenges and opportunities within Scotland's agricultural sector. Bridging the gap between the scientific community and the practical needs of the stakeholders, EPIC has an impact on the well-being of both animals and those who depend on them.
