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.

Those interested in making a 15-minute oral presentation should submit a one-page (single-sided) 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.
