Scientists, Private practitioners, and State Veterinarians are encouraged to submit abstracts. Single case reports will also be accepted if of exceptional interest. Presentations not accepted for oral presentations may be selected to be presented as posters.

Authors wishing to submit abstracts must be able to present on any day of the congress.
