Here's a #ProteinPACT tip for #Halloween: fuel up with some high-quality protein before hitting the #TrickOrTreat trail. We're working hard to help sustain little ghouls (and their patient parents) for generations to come.
#DidYouKnow antibiotics are a critical tool to prevent, control and treat disease in animals? Meat and milk come only from healthy animals and are tested repeatedly to confirm they are safe prior to being sold at retail.
