Abstract

The word implementation is defined as "to put into effect: to carry out."

The critical areas which must be considered in the implementation of a successful production medicine program include identification of appropriate clientele, acquisition of extensive industry knowledge, a fundamental change to the veterinary-client relationship, the establishment of a framework for program evaluation, and a well constructed action plan.
