Abstract

Food animal veterinarians are being challenged today to provide comprehensive cost-effective programs to increasingly sophisticated clients on intensive livestock operations. The delivery of such service is the greatest challenge facing the veterinary profession. The emphasis today, unlike the past, is on production within the herd rather than on the individual animal. To meet the needs of these producers, veterinarians are recognizing that certain clients are requesting changes in the veterinary/client relationship. Without question, the knowledge and expertise is currently available to provide "high tech" veterinary service to elite producers.

A small farm is nestled among rolling hills, fields stretching across a curving road that disappears between dark green trees. The barn is a cheery red color with a tin roof. Beneath the photo is the a statement of the conference's theme in white italics: Challenges of the Bovine Industry in the Twenty-First Century. Deep red background.
