9:00 AM A Regulatory Update on Food Animal Drugs The most immediate change is the transition of the remaining over-the-counter antimicrobials to prescription.

|
9:50 AM Break |
|
10:30 AM Novel Strategy to Mitigate Stress and it’s Deleterious consequences in Cattle Fear is the cause of >95% of stress in cattle. Fear triggers the activation of the Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) causing the release of epinephrin and cortisol which wreaks havoc in the animals metabolism and immune system. A novel pheromone known as Maternal Bovine Appeasing Substance (MBAS) can down regulate the fear driven activation of the HPA axis, modulating behavior, decreasing stress, and normalizing DMI and health. This lecture will cover novel findings about the benefits of decreasing stress with MBAS

|
12:30 PM Lunch and Presentation

|
1:30 PM When Separation Leads to Anxiety in our Companions This presentation will focus on identifying the clues and making the diagnosis of separation anxiety along with how to manage this frustrating condition.
