Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. (BIVI) is working with the Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) program to provide more cattle producers and veterinarians access to BQA Certification modules.

The BQA program is important to the cattle industry, giving producers a set of best practices for producing a safe and high quality beef product. Dairy farmers also see benefits, such as learning handling practices, because a large percentage of dairy calves enter the market, according to Drovers CattleNetwork.

BIVI is providing access to the BQA Certification, which is a $25 to $50 value per person. Interested participants can use the program and gain certification at no charge from Sept. 1-Oct. 31, 2014 by using the following access code: BIVIBQA
