Abstract

Over the past decade the organic agricultural industry has grown exponentially; dairy production represents its second largest sector. The National Organic Program of the United States limits the list of allowable therapies, therefore the objective of this study was to ask bovine veterinarians regarding their opinion, perception, and challenges while working with organic livestock herds.
