CFSPH于2016年5月被指定为世界动物卫生组织（OIE）合作中心。

自2001年以来，CFSPH一直在为兽医学生和兽医开发教育材料。活动包括开发和提供为美国各地兽医学生提供的外来和新兴动物疾病（EEDA）在线课程。CFSPH还为国家兽医认证计划制定并提供了APHIS批准的补充培训。CFSPH与世界动物卫生组织合作，为使用世界动物卫生组织报告系统报告疾病暴发的政府官员开发在线培训。CFSPH提供关于跨界动物疾病和人畜共患疾病的准确信息，面向兽医学生和动物卫生专业人员的在线教育，感染控制工具，地方、州和联邦机构为动物紧急情况做准备的资源。

CFSPH于2002年在疾病控制和预防中心（CDC）的资助下成立。它位于爱荷华州立大学兽医学院，完全由联邦和州政府以及行业和非营利组织的赠款和合作协议资助。动物生物制品国际合作研究所（IICAB –世界动物卫生组织合作中心）成立于1995年，是CFSPH的一部分。

CFSPH网站包含关于重要的跨界动物疾病和人畜共患疾病的技术概况介绍、带注释的图像和PowerPoint演示文稿，供兽医、医疗和公共卫生专业人员使用。该网站还包含为公众设计的疾病资源。CFSPH动物疾病网站及其附属网站每年获得数百万次点击。

CFSPH为兽医学生，兽医和动物卫生应急响应人员提供在线培训。还提供关于免疫学和疫苗接种原理的两门在线课程。CFSPH为美国农业部国家兽医认证计划开发了继续教育材料。

如果实施得当，感染控制措施是降低疾病发病率的一种经济有效的手段。CFSPH为兽医提供在诊所，庇护所或农场使用的资源，牛肉和乳制品生产商可以实施的资源，以及一套流行的消毒剂指南。

CFSPH与州，国家和国际动物卫生机构合作，开发资源和培训材料，以在地方，州，国家和国际层面准备，应对动物卫生紧急情况并从中恢复。

CFSPH was designated as a World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) Collaborating Centre in May 2016.

Since 2001, CFSPH has been developing educational materials for veterinary students and veterinarians. Activities include developing and delivering online courses on exotic and emerging animal diseases (EEDA) for veterinary students across the United States. CFSPH has also developed and provided APHIS-approved supplemental training for the National Veterinary Certification Program. CFSPH has partnered with the World Organisation for Animal Health to develop online training for government officials reporting disease outbreaks using the OIE reporting system. CFSPH provides accurate information on transboundary animal diseases and zoonotic diseases, online education for veterinary students and animal health professionals, infection control tools, and resources for local, state, and federal agencies to prepare for animal emergencies.

CFSPH was established in 2002 with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It is located in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University and is fully funded by grants and partnership agreements from federal and state governments, as well as industry and nonprofit organizations. The Institute for International Cooperation on Animal Bioproducts (IICAB – World Organization for Animal Health Collaborating Centre) was established in 1995 as part of CFSPH.

The CFSPH website contains technical fact sheets, annotated images and PowerPoint presentations on important transboundary animal and zoonotic diseases for veterinary, medical and public health professionals. The site also contains disease resources designed for the general public. The CFSPH Animal Diseases website and its affiliated websites get millions of hits each year.

CFSPH offers online training for veterinary students, veterinarians, and animal health emergency responders. Two online courses on immunology and the principles of vaccination are also available. CFSPH developed continuing education materials for the USDA's National Veterinary Certification Program.

When implemented properly, infection control measures are a cost-effective means of reducing the incidence of disease. CFSPH provides veterinarians with resources to use in clinics, shelters or farms, resources that beef and dairy producers can implement, and a set of popular disinfectant guidelines.

CFSPH works with state, national, and international animal health agencies to develop resources and training materials to prepare, respond to, and recover from animal health emergencies at the local, state, national, and international levels.
