In 2019, the global animal health industry published a Roadmap to Reducing the Need for Antibiotics, an industry commitment to reduce the need for antibiotics by 2025. This collective work has strengthened responsible use by increasing prevention and reducing the need for antibiotics. https://healthforanimals.org/reports/roadmap-progress-report-2023/ #:~:text=Reduced%20need%20for%20antibiotics%3A%20Government,driven%20by%20increases%20in%20prevention.

ICYMI: NPPC's commitment to U.S. pork safety is exemplified by a recent U.S. Department of Agriculture report showing zero Trichinella positives in over 3.2 million pork samples collected over the past 4.5 years.

This impressive outcome reflects the effectiveness of the Pork Quality Assurance® Plus certification program and the commitment of U.S. pork producers to maintaining the highest safety standards. Their rigorous biosecurity measures prevent on-farm exposure to wildlife and rodents, the main sources of Trichinella in pigs.

Merck Animal Health shares insights from the 2023 Veterinary Wellbeing Survey for Enhancing Wellbeing in Large Animal Veterinarians.

08/28/2024

The CDC’s NIOSH National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recently developed the “Impact Wellbeing Guide: Taking Action to Improve Healthcare Worker Wellbeing” as a way to help hospital leaders improve and sustain health care worker wellbeing.

“Traditional approaches for addressing workplace stress, burnout, and wellbeing have often focused on personal responsibility and individual level interventions e.g., practice better self-care, increase your resilience, take a yoga class,” said Jen Brandt, PhD, director of member wellbeing and diversity initiatives at the AVMA. “Seldom do individual-level approaches address root causes to workplace wellbeing challenges,” including adequate staffing, demanding work schedules, and excess administrative work.
