Implementation of GFI #263 in ways that work for Practitioners and Sheep and Goat Producers

Small ruminant producers often use veterinary practitioners much less when compared to cattle producers. The FDA's GFI # 263 will require a veterinary prescription for the remaining medically important, over-the-counter injectable and topical antimicrobials. A proposed template will be presented that practitioners can use to assist producers in joint development of treatment protocols for common conditions. Other sequelae and anticipated behavioral responses will be discussed.
