AFIA, VSAVA Host In-depth Workshop on Pet Nutrition and Feline Leukemia at Nong Lam University
As part of its recently launched Pet Health Month campaign in Vietnam, the American Feed Industry Association (AFIA), in collaboration with the Vietnamese Small Animal Veterinary Association (VSAVA) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), brought together more than 120 students from the veterinary community for an in-depth workshop at the Nong Lam University (University of Agriculture and Forestry) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Veterinarians Ngo Hong Phuong and Nguyen Thi Huyen presented on pet nutrition trends and feline parvoviral enteritis, highlighting the relationship between feeding adequate nutrition while receiving medical treatment for feline leukemia. It is important to feed cats a high quality and balanced diet, such as complete pet food, when they are under the care of a veterinarian. The knowledge-rich session fueled discussions and questions among the veterinary students, who heard from veterinarians on their practical experiences in examining and treating pets.
Recent market research from the AFIA shows that a growing number of Vietnamese veterinarians are likely to recommend U.S. pet food to pet owners who are willing to invest in proper nutrition so that their pets live fuller, healthier and longer lives.
