Abstract

I see the future of food animal practice as a bright one indeed. In our own practice area, the farm animal census is decreasing, and the neighboring practices are moving closer. There are increasing numbers of graduates, and competition for providing health care to these animals is increasing. These combine to provide our challenge in meeting our agricultural industry's needs for the future.
