Antibiotic Stewardship - Reducing the Risks of Residue on the Dairy, Session 1

February 17, 2016

Antibiotic Stewardship - Reducing the Risks of Residue on the Dairy, Session 1

Many residue issues result from poor communication and understanding by farm workers using legally approved drugs improperly. The dairy industry will face increasing pressure to reduce or eliminate antibiotic uses. Let's be proactive.

Session 1:
Food Armor, developed by veterinarians in Wisconsin, addresses food safety and long-term proper drug use on farms. Topics include:
  • Veterinarian/Client/Patient Relationship
  • Drug List
  • Protocols
  • Standard Operating Procedures
  • Records
  • Veterinary Oversight
The February 17 program speakers include Wisconsin Veterinary Medical Association Food Armor Committee Chairman Dr. Jon Garber, an associate veterinarian at Valley Veterinary Clinic, one of the chief dairy veterinary practices in northeastern Wisconsin in addition to Dr. Theresa Ollivett, a Diplomate with the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine and an Assistant Professor in the Food Animal Production Medicine section at the UW-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine. 

More information on the Food Armor program can be found at: http://www.foodarmor.org/ 


"Antibiotic Stewardship" is offered as a collaboration by the Wyoming County Dairy Institute and NWNY Team working with Cornell Cooperative Extension associations of NNY and Quality Milk Production Services with support by Cargill, the Dairy Farmers of America, Dairy Health and Management Services, Poulin Grain, Quality Milk Production Services, Caring Dairies, QMPS, W.H.

Farmers Can Join MeatSuite For Free!

MeatSuite.com is a free resource provided by Cornell University where NY meat farmers can create a farm profile and list their bulk (wholes, halves, quarters) and bundled (i.e. Grilling Bundle) meat products.

Why should farmers join?

1. It's free and easy!
2. Connect with more local customers. In the past year the MeatSuite.com farm directory had 8,300 visits from New York consumers. Farm profiles get as many as 25 views per month from potential local customers. We also spotlight MeatSuite farms on social media and bring attention and purchases to farms through highlights and giveaways.

How do I join?

Farmers can visit https://www.meatsuite.com/farmers/ to create a free farm profile. You must list at least one product for your farm's profile to go live. You'll also have access to Cornell's free Meat Price Calculator, a helpful tool for pricing your meat to make a profit.

While you're on MeatSuite, check out the "Creating Consumer-Friendly Bulk Meats" publication on the log-in page. It has tips on how to create bulk meat products that are easier for first-time buyers to say "yes" to.

If you have any questions as you create your farm profile or products, we're here to help! Please email Matt LeRoux at mnl28@cornell.edu.


Spotted Lanternfly

Lycorma delicatula, or Spotted Lanternfly (SLF), is an invasive plant hopper from Asia and is an agricultural pest. In the United States, it was first found in Pennsylvania in 2014. Spotted Lanternfly has been found in New York State on Staten Island, all New York City boroughs, Long Island, Port Jervis, Sloatsburg, Orangeburg, Ithaca, Binghamton, Middletown, Newburgh, Highland, and the Buffalo area. SLF threatens the agriculture and forestry industries, and is also a nuisance pest. The nymphs and adults feed on over 70 different plants, but is especially detrimental to grapes, a black walnut, hops, maple trees and apples. New York State Ag and Markets supported CCE efforts to help bring awareness to communities and we developed this Public Service Announcement and would appreciate you sharing it with your member lists.
