Abstract

As part of an overall educational program, bovine veterinarians' knowledge of dairy beef quality assurance was assessed, with particular emphasis on residue avoidance practices. A survey instrument was developed and sent to all members of the American Association of Bovine Practitioners (AABP) in the member newsletter. Topics included respondent demographics, drug administration practices, record-keeping practices, impression of clients' attitudes and behaviors regarding drug residues, drug information sources, understanding of cull cattle marketing and processing, and interest in Dairy Beef Quality Assurance. Survey respondent demographics were similar to the general AABP membership. Survey results highlighted a need for continued educational efforts for and by veterinarians regarding extra-label drug use, residue avoidance and general knowledge about market dairy beef processing.
