"Conducting your company’s research through Texas A&M offers the benefit of a university-based study performed by professional economists working in conjunction with one of the top veterinary schools and equine departments in the world.” said CEBS Executive Director Ernie Davis, PhD. "The CEBS will be able to provide companies with highly-reliable data collection and analysis at a competitive price. In addition, companies that are members of the CEBS receive reduced rates on each project."
