At SAVMA, we also emphasized that a major effort of LifeStock is to bring farmers into the overall surveillance system, to create early-warning systems to help control the major diseases of concern. Dr. Brian Joseph gave more details on working with smallholders in various developing countries around the world, and the tremendous satisfaction it can provide. He noted that it requires adequate preparation in areas not usually taught in standard veterinary curricula.
The LifeStock exhibit booth at SAVMA had a steady traffic of students interested in working with us.
