Baton Rouge, La. (September
28, 2017) - The Southern Institute for One Health, One Medicine (SIOHOM)
is an institute that serves as an umbrella organization that promotes
interdisciplinary research, teaching, and outreach/extension to improve the
lives of all species—animal, human, and plants. One of the goals is to develop
and transfer enhanced health system technologies, with impacts at local, state,
regional, national, and international levels.
On September 11, 2017, the
institute hosted Highly Favored Creations, a Shreveport-based company that specializes in pet products. The CEO, Dexter Blanche,
brought prototypes for two new inventions for pets. One is a pet anti-breeding
device (PABS) and another is a dog leash and collar that delivers water to the
dog while walking. SIOHOM is in the process of assisting Highly Favored
Creations with Phase 1 trials of their new sterile urine collection system. The
group also spoke to the Reproductive Physiology class about entrepreneurship
and some possible collaborative opportunities on future inventions of animal
technology.
