826-Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, February 22,1992 Symposium Focuses On Preventive UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre Co.) Why do vaccinations sometimes fail to prevent disease in cattle herds? What happens when drugs are not used according to the label directions? How do pro ducers decide whal their herd’s vaccination prog ram should be? These and other ques tions about preventive medicine in beef cattle herds will be discussed at the Eastern Cattlemen’s Symposium, March 26 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Penn State Meats Lab at University Park. Held in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Beef Expo, the symposium will bring together veterina rians, meat scientists, pro ducers, and regulators to discuss cattle health issues. “The discussion will start with the economics of a preventive health prog ram,” said symposium organizer Dr. John Comer ford, assistant professor of dairy and animal science at Penn State. “From there, we’ll address a number of concerns and challenges to herd health.” Dr. Merlin Kaeberle, professor of microbiology and immunology at the lowa State College of Vet erinary Medicine, will dis cuss the effect of the ani mal’s environment on vac cine perfommance and the reasons vaccines some times fail to prevent dis ease. Dr. Dean Elliot of the Troy Veterinary Clinic will analyze vaccination prog rams for dairy-beef calves. Dr. Kurt Wohlgemuth, manager of technical ser vices for Smith, Kline- Beecham Animal Health, will discuss vaccination programs for cow herds and young calves, focusing on available products and how they are best used. Dr. William Henning, Penn State assistant profes sor of animal science, will explain how producers can avoid causing carcass dam age during injections, a problem that costs the beef industry millions of dollars annually. The implications of not following the label direc tions on cattle drugs will be examined by Dr. Gerald Guest of the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine. He will discuss the need to maintain a high level of integrity in using these drugs. The symposium will conclude with a panel dis cussion of how veterina rians and producers can work together more effi ciently to prevent disease in catUe. The discussion will be followed by a question-and-answer period. The registration fee of $2O includes a copy of the symposium proceedings and “Keystone Ribeye Steak on a Roll” for lunch.
