Plans are underway for the 52nd annual meeting of the American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV), to take place February 27 – March 2, 2021 in San Francisco, California. The AASV is moving forward with plans for the 2021 AASV Annual Meeting with the understanding that guidelines associated with COVID-19 may necessitate changes yet to be determined. Please check aasv.org/annmtg for updated information and revisions.
As part of the meeting, there will be a session highlighting research projects related to swine health and production. Abstracts are now being accepted for potential presentation during the Research Topics session, which will be held Sunday, February 28.
Those interested in making a 15-minute oral presentation should submit a one-page abstract on applied research related to swine health and production issues (virology, bacteriology, parasitology, environment, food safety, odor, welfare, etc.) to aasv@aasv.org by August 14, 2020. Include the presenting author’s name, mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address with each submission.
Abstracts not selected for oral presentation will be considered for poster presentation. All submitting authors will be notified of the selection results in September. Authors of abstracts selected for oral or poster presentation must provide their paper, formatted for publication in the meeting proceedings, by November 12, 2020.
PLEASE NOTE: Participation in the Research Topics oral and poster session is at the presenter’s expense. The presenting author is required to register for the meeting (nonmember participants may register at the AASV regular member rate). No speaking stipend or travel expense reimbursement is paid by the AASV.
