Open Blog Post

So I'm a little behind but my open blog post topic this week is on Food Animal veterinary medicine. Food animal is a common name for well, the animals we eat, such as dairy, swine, poultry and much more. Yesterday's food animal vets worked on an individual basis, treating animals that were sick. Today's vets work more on a herd basic, trying to prevent sickness in the first place. They also play a huge role in the disease eradication and prevention in the animal populations. One of their main concerns is food safety and public health. They are the ones who make sure our burgers from Five Guys isn't contaminated with Mad Cow or the milk we drink doesn't have TB.
