...saddened that TIME has joined the bandwagon of maligning modern animal agriculture [Aug. 31]. I have invested 20 years into the daily management of 12,000 dairy cattle. Few of the "small-scale" farms I saw as a rural veterinarian achieved the degree of cow care we have been able to provide on our current "factory farm." None converted their manure to electricity or took advantage of new, more environmentally friendly technologies. The modern direction of large-scale animal operations is to employ skilled professionals in all areas to better care for animals, the environment and the consumer. Getting this...
...more classes, tripling the number since he began in 2007. Students arrive at the event to see a whole hog's head simmering in a pot in preparation for making an herb-infused, French-style headcheese. The rest of the hog, raised by a local veterinarian and rancher, is then broken down for a variety of dishes, including sausages, rendered lard, rillettes, pâtés, a bone stock for soup, spit-roasted tenderloin and a braised pork belly - all served the following day at what can only be called a pig feast.

Economists and actuaries do not like being told that their forecasts are likely to be less accurate than those of veterinarian scientists forecasting the gestation terms of mules...
...Lechuza horses before the Sunday match. The pharmacy, citing the ongoing state investigation, would not specify what medication. But a knowledgeable source close to Lechuza tells TIME it was Biodyl, or at least a copy of it made from the same components of the vitamin. One Wellington horse veterinarian also told TIME that Biodyl, or "a compound a little off-label," is widely used in the U.S. "You don't know how many times Franck's has compounded this and never had a problem," says the vet. But he predicted its use would drop off sharply now. State investigators have...
