title: Production medicine considerations for enhanced reproductive performance in beef herds.
abstract: The purpose of this article is to provide considerations that must be included in a production medicine program. Although no two programs are the same, each of these areas must be addressed to be effective. Use of current knowledge and technology as well as emerging knowledge and technology to provide input into management practices for enhancing performance is the underlying goal of any production medicine program. The veterinary practitioner can serve as a participant in establishing and maintaining such a program as part of the complete management team.
