PARA & USAHA - For the Record
Since May of 1997 PARA has repeatedly requested that the responsible agencies of the U.S. Government take precautionary measures to ensure the protection of the public health by requiring that our food supply be free from MAP. In furtherance of that objective, delegates from PARA have attended the 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 USAHA conventions, addressing the National Johne's Working Group and/or Johne's Disease Committee each year. In 2002 we chose not to attend that meeting, but did submit our "Formal Statement to the Johne's Disease Committee, National Johne's Working Group, and United States Animal Health Association."
Listed below are descriptions of important events regarding PARA's involvement at USAHA, including texts of speeches, PARA's Reports and Press Releases about USAHA. For full background information, visit the dedicated USAHA Page and NJWG Page.
