Animal Antibiotic and Drug Label Changes Workshop Set in February

Penn State Extension invites dairy and livestock owners to the Animal Antibiotic and Drug Label Changes workshop from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Feb. 28 at the Penn State Extension office in Blair County. Producers will learn about the upcoming changes to antibiotic labels used to treat livestock.

Dr. Haley Springer, Penn State Extension Veterinarian, will discuss what those changes are, when they go into effect and why they’re being changed. Melanie Barkley, Penn State Extension Educator from Bedford County and Cassie Yost, Penn State Extension Educator from Huntingdon County, will cover management practices producers can use to prevent animal health issues and will share information about Extension Educators who are available to assist producers.

There is no cost to attend the event, but registration is requested by Feb. 27.
