Brianna Jordan Locaputo appears tied to Ohio State farm animal team

Ohio State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine appears to have added Brianna Jordan Locaputo, DVM, MS, to its farm animal medicine and surgery ranks, according to external public records, but the college’s currently posted clinical sciences faculty page does not yet list her among named farm animal faculty. Ohio Senate committee records from May 14, 2025, identify “Dr. Brianna Jordan Locaputo, DVM, MS” as affiliated with “The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine - Farm Animal Medicine and Surgery,” while the college’s public Hospital for Farm Animals page describes a 24/7 referral and emergency service in Columbus for food and fiber species.

Why it matters: For veterinary professionals, especially referring large animal and mixed animal clinicians in Ohio, this looks like a faculty or clinical staffing addition in a service area where academic hospitals play an outsized role in referral care, student training, and food animal workforce development. Even before a formal profile appears, the public record suggests Jordan Locaputo is participating in Ohio State’s farm animal medicine and surgery activities, which could expand clinical capacity, teaching support, or outreach ties for production animal practice.

What to watch: Watch for an official Ohio State faculty profile or college announcement that clarifies Jordan Locaputo’s title, start date, and clinical or teaching focus. (vet.osu.edu)
