The Iowa State University Extension and Outreach dairy team will continue its quarterly dairy goat webinar series Sept. 13 with a look at methods to improve antibiotic stewardship in dairy goats to assure food safety and milk quality.
The webinar will be led by Pat Gorden and Michelle Buckley, veterinarians with the Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine.
Subclinical mastitis at dry off can be a bottle neck in the push to improve milk quality in dairy goat herds. Iowa State University and the College of Veterinary Medicine are working to determine meat and milk withdrawal times in dairy goats for two intramammary antibiotic treatments commonly used to mitigate this issue in dairy cattle in order to give producers safer tools to provide top quality goat milk products to consumers.
This final webinar of the 2022 series will be held from noon to 1:15 p.m. There is no fee to attend; however, registration is required. Register in advance or contact Jennifer Bentley, dairy specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach, at jbentley@iastate.edu or 563-382-2949.
Registrants will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. Information will also be provided about future webinars, as dates and topics are announced.
This work is supported by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Agricultural and Food Research Initiative Competitive Program, Antimicrobial Resistance.
