Abstract

Thank you for inviting me to take part in your annual meeting. We have a few urgent factors that we feel need attention and I appreciate the opportunity of presenting them to you. There are five specific items, as a matter of fact.

  1. How good are the biologics that you have available?
  2. We better heed withdrawal instructions or we may lose some valuable tools to fight disease.
  3. The profession needs to provide leadership in the evaluation of the pros and cons of the significance of chemicals used in our food supply.
  4. A re-evaluation of our brucellosis eradication goals.
  5. The bovine practitioners' role in emergency animal disease eradication programs.
