Vcpr.org, An Internet Application to Facilitate Design and Management of Veterinary Treatment Protocols For Livestock, and to Aid in Safe and Effective Use of Prescription Drugs

Objective

Demonstrate the feasibility of an Internet-based system to help food-animal veterinarians to design and maintain written treatment protocols for the management of livestock. These protocols will be customized for individual farms, and focus initially on the appropriate use of antibiotics and other prescription drugs. The system should provide enough benefits to users that it is adopted voluntarily, and result in better records and better control of the use of prescription drugs. Additionally, use of protocols that do not involve drugs will be supported.
