Veterinary Practice News marks its 25th anniversary this year. In observance of that milestone, the magazine’s editors identified 25 up-and-coming veterinarians who, through skill, talent and perseverance, are poised to do great things for veterinary medicine. Dr. Deborah Murray was recognized for her accomplishments and future contributions to veterinary medicine.
Deborah Murray, DVM, New Fashion Pork, Jackson, Minn. Swine veterinarians for corporate farms tread a slippery slope: They are responsible for millions of dollars worth of pork on the hoof, and are under constant scrutiny by animal rights activists. Yet Deborah Murray says she is doing her “dream job,” working with a production management team responsible for producing 1.2 million market hogs per year.
Murray, who earned her DVM and the Swine Certificate from the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine in 2006, was named 2012 Young Swine Veterinarian of the Year by the American Association of Swine Veterinarians. She has spoken at the Leman Swine Conference, the AASV annual meeting and Iowa State University Swine Disease Conference.
