AVMA COVERAGE
NEW ORLEANS - Delegates from across the country considered 16 resolutions - some contentious, such as the one to support changes in veal husbandry - at the AVMA House of Delegates (HoD) meeting in late July.
One resolution calling for a ban on antimicrobials used for growth promotion and feed efficiency was silenced, but still fueled many conversations throughout the conference.
Because the resolution (#15) didn't reach the discussion phase, an opposing resolution, #18, calling for veterinary input into the decision of antimicrobial use in livestock feed, was withdrawn.
Here are voting results on all resolutions presented:
