Call for abstracts: AASV Industrial Partners

The American Association of Swine Veterinarians invites submissions for the Industrial Partners session of the 38th AASV Annual Meeting, to be held March 3 to 6, 2007, in Orlando, Florida. This is an opportunity for commercial companies to make brief presentations of a technical, educational nature to members of the AASV.

This year, the number of sessions for oral presentation has been reduced from three to two, while a poster session has been added to provide another opportunity for companies to share their research and technical information with AASV members. All presentations - oral and poster - will be published in the proceedings of the meeting.

As in previous years, the two oral sessions will consist of a series of 15-minute presentations scheduled from 1:00 to 5:30 pm on Sunday, March 4. The poster session will take place on the same day. Poster authors will be required to be stationed with their poster from 12:00 noon until 1:00 pm, but the posters will remain on display throughout the afternoon for viewing by meeting attendees.

The AASV invites submissions from commercial companies interested in participating in the Industrial Partners sessions. Companies who are members of the Journal of Swine Health and Production Industry Support Council (listed here) may submit two topics for oral presentation. All other companies may submit one topic for oral presentation. Each company may submit one additional topic for poster presentation. Topics must represent information not previously presented at the AASV annual meeting or published in the meeting proceedings.

Interested companies should send the topic title, a brief description or abstract of the presentation content, company name, and presenter information (name, address, telephone and fax numbers, and email address) for each presentation to:
