Animal Welfare and the Future of Audits Dr. Sjeklocha will discuss the current state of animal welfare in beef production; the difference between assessments and audits; and what audits may look like in the future.

Available Resources to Augment Rural Veterinary Practice This presentation will discuss demand for rural practitioners, producer expectations, and training programs to enhance the workforce supply of rural practitioners. Additional issues to be addressed include strategies for recruitment and retention of rural veterinarians.

4:00 PM - 4:50 PM - Diagnostic Stewardship & Detection of Subclinical Ketosis in Dairy Cows An overview of diagnostic stewardship in veterinary medicine and its application within a production setting, pertaining to ketosis in early lactation dairy cattle. The use of cow-side diagnostics tools for detection of subclinical ketosis and their utility for various herd-level ketosis prevalences will be discussed, providing guidance for improved disease detection and treatment implementation.

Internal Parasite Control for Ruminants Grazing ruminants are susceptible to strongyles, coccidia and other parasites from pasture sources. While a whole arsenal of inexpensive anthelmintic drugs have been available for a long time, frequent use has lead to anthelmintic resistance of parasites to all drug classes. In the face of increasing resistance, evidence-based decisions must be implemented to ensure that we are good stewards of the drugs we have and that the drugs continue to be effective for a long time to come. Maximizing the use of diagnostic test results to understand infection levels in a herd is discussed. The drugs available for anthelminthic therapy in cattle, sheep and goats are discussed, along with evaluating the effectiveness of drugs using the fecal egg count reduction test. Strategies to mitigate resistance such as selective targeted treatments, the use of drug combinations, the use of refugia in reducing resistance and pasture management are discussed. Additionally, the management and control of coccidia infections in sheep and goats is discussed.
|
Dr. Sjeklocha will discuss how and why we have high-risk cattle; how to determine if metaphylaxis is necessary; and management practices that can be employed to help vaccines and antibiotics work better.
|
Necropsies are frequently passed over primarily because they take a considerable amount of time. Dr. Sjeklocha will discuss techniques he has developed and tools he uses in a necropsy to make the process more time-efficient and hopefully stimulate commentary from veterinarians in the audience on techniques and tools they have used.

Receiving Cattle Nutrition and Management Success in cattle feeding relies on getting cattle properly started on feed and transitioned to grain diets as efficiently as possible. This can be accomplished by providing good welfare practices, husbandry, and adequate nutrition. Goals for all cattle producers are first to adequately get cattle to eat by providing rest, water, and optimal feed. The second goal should be to transition cattle to a finishing (high-concentrate) diet while keeping DMI as consistent as possible in an appropriate timeframe. Pushing cattle too hard or fast can cause undesired consequences for both the producer and animal. It is just as important to understand your cattle as much as the nutrition being provided to gain optimal success.
|
Revisiting Antimicrobial Resistance in BRD Pathogens This presentation will provide an update to antimicrobial resistance in bacterial agents recovered from bovine respiratory disease cases from 2018-2021. Summaries of resistance to individual antimicrobial agents, as well as, multi-drug resistance will be discussed for Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, Histophilus somni and Bibersteinia trehalosi.
|
Ectoparasite control is critical for maintaining herd and flock health. In this session we will cover common presentations of ectoparasites on ruminants. While treatment is often successful, we will also discuss the dosing and timing of those treatments to be most successful and cost-effective for your clients and producers.

Surgery of the Bovine Distal Limb
|
Beef cattle production systems are complex with many factors affecting profitability and sustainability of the operation making field research to evaluate all the possible interactions difficult. Systems models are a feasible method to effectively evaluate the interactions of complex systems that could provide direction to future field research. The goal of this research was to evaluate four potential strategies for improving the environmental and economic sustainability of cow-calf production in Kansas Flint Hills.

Blood Pressure Matters: A Practical Approach To Management
|
Endocrinology - Addison's - Part 1 Cases will be used to illustrate how to diagnose and treat Addisonian dogs with steroids, and also different presentations of Addison’s disease.
|
Endocrinology - Addison's - Part 2 Cases will be used to help demonstrate how to identify cases of atypical Addison’s, different clinicopathologic abnormalities, and how to treat them.
|
Endocrinology Hyperadrenocorticism - Part 1 This lecture will discuss clinical signs and other hallmarks of hyperadrenocorticism. The differences between diagnostic tests will be highlighted, and a practical approach to differentiation will be presented using a case-based approach.
|
Endocrinology Hyperadrenocorticism - Part 2 This lecture will focus on the treatment of hyperadrenocorticism using trilostane. Monitoring strategies, including the use of the pre-pill cortisol, will also be presented.
|
This will be a more light hearted film reading session where audience participation is encouraged! Congress attendees will be given the opportunity to review the radiographs of obstructed patients in advance and be asked to guess the foreign body. Whilst the aim is to end the radiology session in a lighthearted manner, it will also highlight the fact that some foreign bodies are not only foreign, they can be downright invisible!!!
|
Heart or Lungs? Surgical Abdomen or Not? Are these not two questions you are faced with as a small animal practitioner more often than not? The coughing cat; is it asthma, chronic bronchitis or something else? The coughing dog; does the patient need furosemide or antibiotics? And what about those small intestines…is this an obstructed pattern and should I take him to surgery or should I give the dog another 12 – 24 hours of conservative management. This presentation will be a case based presentation highlighting the radiographic features that help us as diagnosticians make those critical decisions.

Is Artificial Intelligence Stealing My Job? Artificial intelligence has been utilized in the field of human medicine since the 1990s and the veterinary field has been somewhat slow to catch up. However, over the last decade there has been a tremendous amount of research in this field and commercial use of AI is now available to general practitioners with several companies offering AI solutions for diagnostics workups. This presentation will provide a brief background and technological information on AI (a necessary evil to understand AI solutions available), before discussing various commercial platforms and the strengths and weaknesses AI offers to the end user, with a focus on imaging platforms.

Common Contract Disputes; Navigating Legal Waters In this session we will review the components of an employment contract and their effect on personal wellbeing and financial success, including common compensation packages for practicing veterinarians and taxation of W-2 wage compensation versus non-wage benefits. We will also learn about veterinary specific contractual provisions such as restrictive covenants, termination, liquidated damages, exclusivity, and negative accrual as well as an understanding of basic employment law concepts such as at-will employment, notice period, unpaid and paid leave, and fringe benefits.
