CE DAYTIME SESSIONS
PRE-PURCHASE EXAMINATIONS IN EQUINE PRACTICE Mike Schoonover, DVM, MS, DACVS-LA, DACVSMR 12:30 PM - 1:20 PM | Room 204 B Equine pre-purchase examinations have become a very common part of equine practice. In addition to the examination itself, this presentation will discuss buyer communication, conflicts of interest disclosure, documentation, and the potential risks and liabilities that are equally important. PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT OF EQUINE CASTRATION COMPLICATIONS Mike Schoonover, DVM, MS, DACVS-LA, DACVSMR 1:30 PM - 2:20 PM | Room 204 B Castration is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in male horses. The frequency of this procedure and the associated relatively low mortality rate have allowed the general public to view this procedure as “routine.” Many castration procedures are performed successfully under field conditions; however, anesthesia can be inconsistent and sterility is generally less than ideal, thus complications can and often do occur. Complications resulting from castration procedures continuously represent one of the major categories of malpractice claims in equine practice. Many of these complications can be managed effectively in the field while others require initial management on the farm and primary treatment in a hospital setting. This presentation will describe common post-operative complications encountered following routine equine castration, as well as discuss means of prevention and treatment, and the associated prognosis. FOOD ANIMAL FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 PAIN ASSESSMENT IN FOOD ANIMALS Hans Coetzee, BVSc, Cert CHP, PhD, DACVCP, DACAW, DECAWBM(AWSEL) 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM | Room 103 AB Pain is a consequence of many routine husbandry procedures in farm animals. As such, livestock pain is an animal welfare concern for consumers. Before we can manage pain, we must be able to assess if an animal is in pain. In this session we will examine approaches to pain assessment in food animals. PAIN MANAGEMENT IN FOOD ANIMALS Hans Coetzee, BVSc, Cert CHP, PhD, DACVCP, DACAW, DECAWBM(AWSEL) 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM | Room 103 AB Societal concern about farm animal welfare is increasing. In particular, negative public perception of pain associated with routine animal management practices such as dehorning and castration is resulting in the development of policies to relieve pain and suffering in livestock. However, there are currently no analgesic drugs labeled for use at the time of routine management procedures. In this session we will discuss practical strategies to manage pain in farm animals. THE ECONOMICS OF PAIN MANAGEMENT IN FOOD ANIMALS Hans Coetzee, BVSc, Cert CHP, PhD, DACVCP, DACAW, DECAWBM(AWSEL) 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM | Room 103 AB With the increased emphasis on animal welfare, producers are being encouraged, and in some cases are required, to use analgesic compounds routinely at the time of dehorning and castration. It is therefore reasonable for our clients to ask “what’s in it for me?” This session will examine the potential health and production benefits of analgesic use in food animals. ANTIMICROBIAL STEWARDSHIP: USING S.P.A.C.E.D TO IMPROVE YOUR ANTIMICROBIAL SELECTIONS TO TREAT MYCOPLASMA INFECTION IN CATTLE Hans Coetzee, BVSc, Cert CHP, PhD, DACVCP, DACAW, DECAWBM(AWSEL) 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM | Room 103 AB “Antimicrobial stewardship” refers to the “coordinated interventions designed to improve and measure the appropriate use of antimicrobials by promoting the selection of the optimal antimicrobial drug regimen, dose, duration of therapy, and route of administration. In this session we will examine the S.P.A.C.E.D framework for implementing antimicrobial stewardship on farm and its application for treatment of infections caused by Mycoplasma in cattle.
TREATMENT OF BOVINE RESPIRATORY DISEASE: WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THE ANTIMICROBIAL REALLY MAKE? Hans Coetzee, BVSc, Cert CHP, PhD, DACVCP, DACAW, DECAWBM(AWSEL) 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM | Room 103 AB In global terms, BRD treatment and metaphylaxis represents the most lucrative market for the veterinary pharmaceutical industry. The Holy Grail is the development of antimicrobials that require a single administration that provides an extended duration of activity. But what difference does an antimicrobial really make? In this session we will examine approaches to evaluate antimicrobials without head-to-head comparisons, and we will discuss the impact on single, and multiple doses of antimicrobials on disease outcomes. TO DART, OR NOT TO DART? WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF DISEASE, AND DRUG DELIVERY METHOD, ON BEEF QUALITY ASSURANCE Hans Coetzee, BVSc, Cert CHP, PhD, DACVCP, DACAW, DECAWBM(AWSEL) 3:00 PM - 3:50 PM | Room 103 AB Antimicrobials approved for use in food animals are studied in healthy animals to determine their pharmacokinetic (PK) profile. There are few studies evaluating the impact of disease on pharmacokinetics and the implications on modifying treatment regimens. Managing the effective use of antimicrobials for treatment of disease is an important responsibility of veterinarians, which involves detailed knowledge of these agents. Pharmacokinetic studies in diseased animals better represent the circumstances where most drugs are applied in practice and will allow for the modification of treatment regimens in consideration of the altered physiologic status of diseased animals. In this session we will examine the results of recent studies that have investigated the impact of disease, and method of drug delivery, on BQA outcomes in cattle. UPDATE ON THE TREATMENT AND CONTROL OF BOVINE ANAPLASMOSIS Hans Coetzee, BVSc, Cert CHP, PhD, DACVCP, DACAW, DECAWBM(AWSEL) 4:30 PM - 5:20 PM | Room 103 AB Anaplasmosis, caused by the hemobacteria Anaplasma marginale, is the most prevalent tick-transmitted disease of cattle worldwide and a major obstacle to profitable livestock production in the continental United States. This session will provide updated information pertaining to the management, treatment and control of bovine anaplasmosis.
