Jordan T Gebhardt

Jordan T. Gebhardt serves as an Associate Professor in Swine Production at Kansas State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Diagnostic Medicine/Pathobiology. With dual doctoral credentials (DVM and PhD) from Kansas State University complemented by a BS from Michigan State University, Dr. Gebhardt brings comprehensive expertise to swine production medicine and feed safety research.

His educational background includes:

• BS (2014), Michigan State University
• DVM (2019), Kansas State University
• PhD (2020), Kansas State University

Dr. Gebhardt's research program addresses critical challenges facing the swine industry, with particular emphasis on practical production medicine, feed safety, and nutritional strategies. His work investigates how the feed supply chain serves as a potential route for disease transmission, with specific focus on porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and African swine fever virus (ASFV). Through collaborations with swine nutritionists, feed scientists, and veterinarians, he develops practical solutions for swine producers and feed manufacturers.

Analysis of his publication record reveals a strong focus on swine health management, feed biosecurity, and production optimization. His research spans viral transmission pathways, feed additive efficacy, nutritional interventions, and mortality reduction strategies in commercial swine operations. The collaborative nature of his work is evident through partnerships with the Kansas State Applied Swine Nutrition team and industry stakeholders.

As an educator, Dr. Gebhardt teaches the graduate-level course DMP830 (Quantitative Analysis in Food Production Veterinary Medicine), serves as advisor for the KSU CVM Student Chapter of the American Association of Swine Veterinarians, and mentors veterinary and graduate students. His research activities are supported through collaborations with the university's swine research initiatives and industry partnerships focused on practical problem-solving in swine production.

Dr. Gebhardt maintains an active research laboratory in 307 Coles Hall, working with a collaborative group investigating feed safety and biosecurity solutions for the swine industry. His team's work contributes to the university's Feed Safety Resources initiative, providing science-based guidance to producers and feed manufacturers.
