Erin Kettelkamp, DVM grew up on a crop and livestock farm near Kaneville, Illinois, where her early exposure to animal agriculture sparked her interest in veterinary medicine. She earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Illinois and developed a strong interest in swine medicine and biosecurity through internships, externships, and applied research.
Since joining Swine Vet Center in 2021, Erin has worked as a consulting swine veterinarian supporting both integrated production systems and independent producers. She provides herd health and production consulting across all phases of swine production, with a specialty focus on disease management, air filtration assessments, farm- and system-level biosecurity programs, and transportation biosecurity.
In addition to her consulting role, Erin is actively involved with SVC Insight (SVCI), where she contributes to applied field research focused on biosecurity practices, sanitation technology, and disease prevention strategies.
Erin is based in northern Illinois, where she lives with her husband, Tanner, and their family, and enjoys managing the family farm.
