Call for Submissions – Industrial Partners – Due Oct 1

Sep 23, 2025

By Abbey Canon

The American Association of Swine Veterinarians invites submissions for the Industrial Partners oral and poster sessions at the 57th AASV Annual Meeting. This is an opportunity for commercial companies to make brief presentations of a technical, educational nature to meeting attendees. The conference will be held February 28 – March 3, 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The oral sessions consist of a series of 15-minute presentations scheduled from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm on Sunday afternoon, March 1. A poster session takes place the same day. Poster authors will be required to be stationed with their poster from noon until 1:00 pm, and the posters will remain on display throughout the afternoon and the following day for viewing.

Submission Prerequisite

All companies submitting topics for presentation during the Industrial Partners sessions must register to participate in the AASV Technical Tables Exhibit before October 1.

Submission Limit

Restricted program space necessitates a limit on the number of presentations per company. Companies that are a member of the Journal of Swine Health and Production Industry Support Council and sponsor the AASV e-Letter may submit three topics for oral presentation. Companies that are either a member of the JSHAP Industry Support Council or sponsor the AASV e-Letter may submit up to two topics. All other companies may submit one topic for oral presentation. In addition, every company may submit one topic for poster presentation, but the topic must not duplicate the oral presentation.

Drone Flight & Baling Success at Last!

After weeks of rain delays and frustration, we finally have a reason to smile — it’s hay time again at Ewetopia Farms! In today’s episode, we head out to the fields where Arnie is baling hay, and I attempt my second drone flight to capture it all from the air. The drone still had some hiccups, but I managed to get some aerial footage of the baling process.

Back at the farm, the work doesn’t stop. Arnie brings the bales home, and the next critical step begins — wrapping and stacking the bales to make haylage. This process is essential for preserving feed for our sheep and ensures they have nutritious forage in the months ahead.

It’s a good day on the farm — the sun is out, the drone is flying (sort of!), and we’re making progress. Join us for a satisfying and productive day that brings a long-awaited sigh of relief to this year’s challenging hay season.
