Pfizer Animal Health announces the return of the Future Farmers of America (FFA) and American Association of Bovine Practitioners (AABP) Foundation Support Program and the addition of the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) Foundation Support Program. Since its inception in 2008, Pfizer Animal Health and its customers have contributed more than $3.6 million to local FFA chapters and veterinary student scholarship funds.

A portion of purchases from qualified Pfizer Animal Health cattle and equine products made between Feb. 1 and April 30, 2012, will be donated on behalf of local veterinarians and animal health suppliers to the local FFA chapter(s) of their choice, the AABP Foundation Pfizer Animal Health Veterinary Student Scholarship Fund, or the AAEP Foundation.

"Connecting FFA members with their local veterinarians is incredibly valuable in educating them about the animal health industry," says Lori Randle, regional director, National FFA Foundation. "This program also provides local FFA chapters with funds for traveling to educational and leadership seminars. This has been an excellent program, and we look forward to continuing it."

In previous years, more than 1,100 veterinarians, animal health suppliers, and dealers across the country have participated in the FFA/AABP Foundation Support Program, which is part of Pfizer Animal Health’s "Commitment to Veterinarians," an initiative supporting veterinarians through training and education, research and development, and investment in the future of the veterinary profession
