Call for Abstracts now open

Proposals are now invited for abstracts to be presented at the IPVS 2010 Congress as either oral or poster sessions.

The overall theme of the congress is 'Sharing Ideas – Advancing Pig Health'. It will emphasise three broad subject areas: Pig Health, Production & Management, and Food Safety, Animal Welfare & Social Change. An important objective will be to ensure that the latest scientific information is applied at the field level and therefore we will be continuing to include the Practitioner's Line.

It is the organisers' goal to create a forum for the sharing of ideas from the leading researchers and industry workers from around the world, so that this knowledge, innovation and enthusiasm will advance the health of pigs and the strength and wealth of the global pig industry.
