Global animal health company Virbac has partnered with the World Small Animal Veterinary Association to support its recently created Reproduction Control Committee. The Committee is working to ensure that veterinarians globally have access to the latest resources and knowledge in the rapidly evolving area of companion animal reproduction control.
It is chaired by Professor Stefano Romagnoli, a European Veterinary Specialist in Animal Reproduction from the University of Padua in Italy, and comprises reproduction experts from around the world.
One of the Reproduction Control Committee’s first tasks is the development of a set of WSAVA Global Guidelines in this important area of veterinary medicine.
“Giving advice on reproduction and carrying out spaying and neutering procedures can form a large part of a general clinician’s work, with many of our members also involved in large-scale spay-neuter programs,” WSAVA president Dr Siraya Chunekamrai said.
“Our Reproduction Control Committee is helping them to make science-based choices for the management of reproduction, while safeguarding animal welfare and supporting the human-companion animal bond.
“We are delighted to welcome Virbac, both as a supporter of the Reproduction Control Committee and as a WSAVA Partner, helping us to deliver our mission to advance the health and welfare of companion animals worldwide.”
