On Saturday starts the 49th annual meeting of the American Association of Swine Veterinarians in San Diego, CA. Once again, the swine group from the University of Minnesota, College of Veterinary Medicine will be well represented. This year’s theme is Global Knowledge: Individual Application.
Dr. Marie Culhane, member of this year’s program committee will also be co-chair a seminar on Sunday morning regarding the 4-dimensional revolution in food animal health and production: the synthesis of diagnostics, devices, digital platforms, and data analytics. Dr. Maria Pieters will co-chair the DVM student seminar hold on Sunday afternoon.
Numerous faculty member, graduate students, researchers and DVM students will be presenting throughout the conference.
