Dr. Habing fielded some tough questions about the impacts of antibiotic use in livestock during the “Ask the Expert” event at the Farm Science Review. The “Ask the Expert” event is an annual, collaborative extension education effort among faculty and staff from the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences and the College of Veterinary Medicine. The 20 minute presentations from the experts address important veterinary medicine and farm management challenges facing Ohio farmers.
Dr. Habing and veterinary students, Miranda Hengy and Jess Garcia, attended the 52nd Annual Conference of the American Association of Bovine Practitioners, September 12-14, 2019 in St. Louis, Missouri.
Dr. Habing engaged with colleagues as he presented two posters on genomic characterization and trends in the antimicrobial susceptibility of Salmonella Dublin recovered from Ohio cattle.
Miranda also delivered a poster presentation on the use of a novel technique, Sepsityper kit with MALDI-TOF, to detect bacteremia in diarrheic dairy calves.
Jess shared an oral presentation on the prevalence of bacteremia in diarrheic dairy calves, and the potential association of clinical signs with bacteremia.
Conference abstracts and full posters are available here. Great work, Team!
Our Herd was recently awarded nearly $13,000 in USDA-Animal Health-Formula Funds to support the work of Ph.D. student, Samantha Locke. Sam’s work will focus on creating effective cleaning and disinfection protocols to eradicate Salmonella biofilms.
Keep up the great work, Sam!
