Each year at the AASV Annual Meeting, the “AASV’s Got Talent” Practice Tips seminar shares useful information to benefit the "boots-in-the-barn" veterinarian. While there are no formal proceedings papers for these practice tips, the participants have made their presentation slides available as part of the Swine Information Library. If your membership in the AASV is current, you can access them here: https://www.aasv.org/library/swineinfo/series_index.php?id=12#121. Presentations include:
