Promoting Animal Production Development in Australia
Invitation
Joint Conference, Australian Society of Animal Production and NZ Society of Animal Production
24th – 27th June 2008
University of Queensland, St Lucia, Brisbane
Queensland, Australia
You and your staff are cordially invited to the first ever joint conference between the Australian Society of Animal Production and the NZ Society of Animal Production. This will be held from the 24-27 June 2008 at The University of Queensland, St Lucia, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
The program will include invited speakers and the opportunity to present original work. Submitted 4 page papers will be published in the new journal Animal Production Science which replaces AJAR and AJEA. As such they are fully refereed and internationally recognised papers. 1 page papers will be published in our own journal Proceedings.
This is the ideal opportunity to coordinate your own project meetings to include your colleagues from developing countries to this high level meeting.
The speaker program outline is attached below and there will be plenty of opportunity for oral and poster presentations.
The key date for submission of papers is 16 November 2007.
All details are on the website: www.asap.asn.au
