NPB has online resource to help producers

Thursday, December 8th 2016

An online resource can help livestock farmers find veterinarians in their area. National Pork Board president Jan Archer says the board partnered with Global Vet Link to develop and expand their Find-A-Vet service for livestock producers. “This is in response to some of the new FDA guidences, 209 and 213, and people needing to have a good, strong veterinary client-patient relationship for their herds,” says Archer. Archer says it’s important for producers to establish long-term partnerships with their veterinarians before the FDA Veterinary Feed Directive goes into effect in 2017.
