The Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM), as a part of its Food Safety Initiative (FSI) Education Program, is developing products about the Judicious Use of antimicrobials in food producing animals.

Judicious Use of therapeutic antimicrobials is an integral part of good veterinary practice.  It is an approach to maximize therapeutic efficacy and minimize selection of resistant microorganisms.
