The abstract submission portal will close at 11:59pm central time on Friday, September 13, 2024.
Abstract submissions for all species of food animals (ex: poultry, swine, cattle, and aquaculture) are welcome.
Note that the below sections have been modified for 2024.
Sessions
- New in 2024: Exclusive sessions on necrotic enteritis in poultry and any like diseases in cattle and swine
- Age dependent development of the microbiome (acquisition and development of the microbiome, ex. neonates/chicks to older animals)
- Beneficial physiological effects of gut health (physiological studies beyond the gut, not FCR or weight alone)
- Host Mucosa-microbe interactions (mucus, epithelium, immune responses to microbes (commensals or pathogens))
- Measurements of gut health / Intestinal barrier function (new ways to determine a healthy gut / barrier breakdown in disease or models and/or strengthening due to intervention)
- Measuring gut microbiota impact on gut health (microbiota/microbiome studies, must incorporate host bioassays besides FCR and weight)
- Mechanisms of beneficial microbes activity on gut health (mechanistic studies of pro-, pre-, post- biotics, must incorporate mechanism of action studies)
- Non-microbial interventions in gut health (anything impacting gut health that is not a pre- pro- biotic, ex. small molecules, post-biotics)
- Nutrition and gut health (anything nutrititive or additives involving gut, not probiotics)
Space limitations allow for a maximum of 2,300 keystrokes (including characters, spaces, and punctuation). Begin the character count at the title and end the count with the last key word or end of a table if one is included. The character count does not include authors and their affiliations.
