FOOD ANIMAL FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 _____________________________________________________ THE SHORTCOMINGS OF BRD PREDICTION AND DIAGNOSIS Jason Nickell, DVM, PhD, DACVPM 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM I 006 A The bovine is hard-wired to conceal clinical signs of weakness and/or disease. Additionally, the clinical signs of MeganWilliams, DVM, DACVS-LA 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM I 006 C
BRDare not specific for the disease itself. Therefore, it is quite common that the BRDdiagnosis is generally late in the disease phase or thewrong diagnosismay bemade. Attendeeswill gain insight into the inaccuracies of predicting BRD, detecting animalswith presumptive disease, and confirming the BRDdiagnosis. The subsequent impact on animal performance, treatment costs, and labor requirementswill also be discussed. IMPROVING BRD PREDICTION PRACTICES Jason Nickell, DVM, PhD, DACVPM 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM I 006 A The practice of metaphylaxis, although valuable, is one that continues to draw interest within the realmof public policy and consumer interest. New technologies are being developed to assist producers in better identifying specific animals that will benefit from this practice while supporting judicious antimicrobial usage. Attendees will be presentedwith research data outlining newproduct development in this space as well as future insights into additional layers of value. IMPROVING THE BRD DETECTION AND CONFIRMATION PRACTICE Jason Nickell, DVM, PhD, DACVPM 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM I 006 A Humans are not effective in consistentlymaking early and accurate BRD diagnoses. Additionally, labor is an ongoing challenge for livestock production and cost optimization is always a priority. Therefore, new technology is necessary to optimize human resources whileminimizing health and performance loss among the animals at risk for BRD. Attendees will be presentedwith previous and newdata generated in these areas. AGVIEWAND ELECTRONIC CVIS Susan Culp, DVM 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM I 006 A In this sessionwe will explore a new technology tool, AgViewCVI, used to helpmakemoving animals on interstate health certificates easy and efficient. This technology tool allows both on-farmand in-clinic access to create, store and send electronic health certificates. In this sessionwe will also briefly explore the larger AgView systemwhich is designed to be utilized in animal health emergencies to aid in business continuity for food animal production. THE EVOLUTION AND PROGRESSIONOF LIVESTOCK VACCINES: THE HISTORY, CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES, AND A LOOK TO THE FUTURE Randy Shirbroun, DVM 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM I 006 A We will explore the history of the development of vaccines in animal agriculture focusing on the various technologies and how they evolved. We will discuss the improvements that have beenmade in antigens, adjuvants and administration techniques leading to the variety of options available today. Finally, we will look ahead to see what the futuremay hold.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 _____________________________________________________ OVERVIEWOF ORGANIC AND NATURAL REGULATIONS Hubert Karreman, VMD 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM I 006 A The USDA has specific standards for organic production and rules for allowedmaterials for farms certified by the National Organic Program. For most veterinarians, the main challenge toworking with certified organic livestock producers is knowing what materials are allowedwhen treating animals. There are products already on the vet truck that are allowedwhich veterinariansmay not be aware of. Learnwhat these are and the pertinent standards of animal care that certified organic operationsmust adhere to. A comparison of the U.S., Canadian and EU organic rules will be shown. Discussionwill also include the various other animal welfare programs and some of their key points of differentiation. COMMONMEDICATIONS AND THERAPIES ALLOWED FOR ORGANIC LIVESTOCK Hubert Karreman, VMD 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM I 006 A Prior to the advent of antibiotics and hormones, the veterinary profession relied uponmedicines derived from botanical, biological, andmineral origin to treat commonly encountered conditions in farmanimals. With prohibitions on antibiotics and hormones within the certified organic sector, is it possible to successfully utilize rationally based natural products in ambulatory practice?What does the clinical practitioner already have on hand to reduce pain and suffering on organic and naturally based farms? This sessionwill provide protocols that a practitioner can use immediately. Whilemost all conditions that occur on conventional livestock farms can be encountered on organic livestock farms, the prevalence varies between themanagement systems. We will discuss towhat degree andwhy. DHIA data comparingmilk quality and reproduction on conventional and organic farms will be presented. Parasitism, nutrition and lameness will also be discussed. With reduced need for treating acutely ill animals, where else can veterinarians help livestock farmers using natural rearingmethods ensure animal welfare while producing safe andwholesome food? MANAGING DAIRY, BEEF, SWINE, & POULTRY HOLISTICALLY Hubert Karreman, VMD 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM I 006 A There are an increasing number of livestock farms that produce for specialty, nichemarkets. What are some of the uniquemanagement scenarios that veterinariansmay see?What are some of themindsets of producers in these systems? How are animals cared for andwhat are some health issues of grass-fed, grain-free ruminant production, pasture or silvopasture (woodland) raising of pigs, and pastured poultry production? This sessionwill introduce the basics in terms of animal performance and also challenges associatedwith such systems. REVIEWAND UPDATES OF SFT BSE STANDARDS Chance Armstrong, DVM, MS, Diplomate ACT 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM I 006 B The breeding soundness examhas evolvedmuch since the mid-1950s. The advancement of technology and discovery through evidenced-basedmedicine has allowed this exam to progress. The challenges that food animal practitioners encounter regarding remaining relevant in the livestock industry continue to surface and the profession has to findmeans tomaintain their position in a changing world. Promoting ourselves as experts and the benefits of a professional examby a veterinarianwill be discussed. The recent changes adopted by the Society for Theriogenology regarding the bull breeding soundness examwill be covered during this session.
