This summary should include an overview of the article that identifies the key points and provides examples of the issues related to food animal production being presented by the authors. You should also provide your thoughts as a critical review (not necessarily negative) of the article. Consider how the information presented in the article influences food animal production decisions. (Bring thoughts to the Discussion Board!)
