Cause for Concern: Responding to the Pew Report

A common concern among Americans is making sure that the food we eat is the safest in the world. We can thank our nation's food supply veterinarians for helping keep our nation's livestock healthy and the making sure the meat, eggs and dairy products the livestock produces is safe to eat. The AVMA, the world's largest and most prestigious veterinary medical organization, recently released an extensive report that addresses some current concerns about the way farm animal health is maintained in the U.S. In our latest Chew on This podcast, Dr. Ron DeHaven, AVMA CEO, discusses The American Veterinary Medical Association Response to the Report of the Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production.

Over 50 audio features are available on wide-ranging topics, including: pet and human health, food safety, dog bites and animal welfare, etc.
