An experienced veterinary physician based in Harvard, Illinois, Dr. Phillip Kapraun focuses on treating standardbred race horses and other performance race horses. Active in his field outside of his daily practice, Dr. Phillip Kapraun maintains membership in the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).
In late June 2018, the United State Senate voted in favor of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, a piece of legislation that received heavy support from the AVMA due to the fact that it addressed many of the organization’s priorities. One of the major elements of the bill includes approval for efforts to nationalize detection of animal diseases, though the bill does fall short in actually providing funding for this program.
All in all, however, the bill does deal with animal health measures and protection for animals in the agricultural sectors. The organization stressed the importance of being prepared for disease outbreaks and pledged to continue working with Congress to fine-tune programs that accomplish that goal.
