NIAA’s Animal Disease Issues & Emergency Management Council will lead the inaugural roundtable discussion to explore current research and knowledge regarding causes, prevention methods, and treatment of bone health and lameness disease(s) in food animal species – livestock and poultry.
We are looking forward to a great, collaborative discussion about the issues each species experience and how animal agriculture leaders can collectively address the problems,” said Council co-chair, Dr. Lucas Pantaleon. Outputs from the roundtable will include a white paper along with the next steps – plans to address bone health and lameness.
