Judicious Use Videos
The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM), produced two videos, "Keeping Up Our Guard" (for veterinarians) and "Safeguarding America's Health" (for livestock producers). Both videos were produced as a result of the President's Food Safety Initiative, which among other initiatives, specifically calls for programs to educate veterinarians and livestock producers about food safety.
