The American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) has accepted Dairy Cattle Reproduction Council’s (DCRC) submission for continuing education (CE) credits. Veterinarians can earn up to 14 Registry of Approved Continuing Education (RACE) CEs for attending the DCRC Annual Meeting, Nov. 15-16, in Indianapolis.

This RACE approval is for the subject matter categories of: Scientific (category one) and Non-Scientific-Practice Management/Professional Development using the delivery method of seminar/lecture (category three). The DCRC Annual Meeting approval is valid in jurisdictions that recognize AAVSB RACE. Participants are responsible for ascertaining each board's CE requirements.

To encourage veterinarian and dairy producer attendance, DCRC provides up to twenty $100 travel stipends, on a first-come, first-served basis. If interested in one of the travel stipends, contact JoDee Sattler at jodee@dcrcouncil.org.

In addition to the DCRC Annual Meeting general session, registrants may attend the preconference symposium, which will address Microbial Terroir, Earning Consumer Trust in Modern Dairy Practice, and Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus Control: Biosecurity, Testing and Removal, and Immunization. The preconference symposium provides additional instructional time for meeting attendees at no extra charge. Arm & Hammer, Merck and Zoetis provided financial support for the preconference symposium.

To view the meeting agenda or to register, go to the DCRC website. Online registration ends Oct. 31. After that date, attendees must register on site.

The Dairy Cattle Reproduction Council is focused on bringing together all sectors of the dairy industry – producers, consultants, academia and allied industry professionals – for improved reproductive performance. DCRC provides an unprecedented opportunity for all groups to work together to take dairy cattle reproduction to the next level.
