Plans are under way for the 37th annual meeting of the American Association of Swine Veterinarians, March 4-7, 2006, in Kansas City, Mo.

A session highlighting topical research projects related to swine health and production is scheduled for March 7 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Those interested in making a 15-minute presentation should submit a one-page abstract on applied research related to swine health and production issues—virology, bacteriology, parasitology, environment, food safety, odor, or welfare—to the AASV by Aug. 15, 2005.

Submissions may be mailed to the AASV, 902 1st Ave., Perry, IA 50220, faxed to (515) 465-3832, or e-mailed to aasv@aasv.org. The presenting author's name, mailing address, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address must be included with each submission.

Authors of abstracts selected for presentation will be notified by Oct. 1 and must provide their complete paper for publication in the meeting proceedings by Nov. 15.
