AVMA CEO Dr. Ron DeHaven explains what you can do to keep food safe
A lot of people don’t know that veterinarians are involved in food safety, but they are, and unfortunately, we have a growing shortage of food safety veterinarians in America. There are only about 8,500 veterinarians who care for America’s over 9.4 billion head of livestock—cows, pigs, sheep, and poultry. Congress is currently considering new legislation that will help: the Veterinary Services Investment Act. Dr. DeHaven explains what you can do to help.
Over 50 audio features are available on wide-ranging topics, including: pet and human health, food safety, dog bites and animal welfare, etc.
