Abstract

During the December, 2010, Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (RB5) board meeting, requests were made for more stringent permit requirements for dairy operations. The dairy industry proposed that UC-Davis complete a study of pharmaceutical use on California dairies in order to generate current and objective data with which to inform the permit development process. To obtain the data required, a survey of practicing dairy veterinarians was conducted to provide a point of reference for evaluating pharmaceutical use specific to California dairies.
