Description: | The awards sponsored by Merial were established in 1982. In 2017, Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health, assumed sponsorship of this award. They consist of a $1500 general scholarship contribution to be made in the name of the recipient to his/her veterinary college of choice and a specially designed bronze plaque in bas-relief given to the recipient. The awards recognize individual member practitioners or practices that have developed outstanding preventive medicine programs. Because of differences in management goals and needs, the award was given to recognize an outstanding program for beef production." |
