Compare Injection Technologies at AASV Summer Conference - Register Now!

May 27, 2009 — AASV Staff

Vaccines and antimicrobials are key resources available to veterinarians, and optimizing their use will be the focus of one session at the AASV Summer Conference in Ames, Iowa on June 22-23. During the "Injection Technologies" session, attendees will be provided with an overview of the current literature comparing needle-free and needle-based technologies. Then they'll participate in hands-on demonstrations using a variety of injection equipment to observe the injection pattern and distribution of dye within actual tissues. Four companies - AcuShot, Allflex, Neogen and PrimaTech - will be providing equipment and participating in these demonstrations. Attendees can expect to learn how the equipment works, potential costs, and how it might be implemented within their practice or production system.

Topics to be addressed during the other conference sessions also emphasize the theme of "Optimizing Resources" and include:

  • Troubleshooting ventilation systems
  • Identifying and managing the pain associated with lameness
  • Identifying optimum market weight and ideal feeding strategy for profit maximization
  • Case studies
  • Welfare and the media

The conference utilizes small group, interactive demonstrations and case study applications to enhance learning. Registration is limited to AASV members, and will be capped at 80 veterinarians and 40 veterinary students. For more information, or to register, see http://www.aasv.org/summerconf.
