The 2008 AABP Program Committee welcomes you to 41st Annual Convention of the American Association of Bovine Practitioners, Sept. 25 - 27, 2008 in Charlotte, North Carolina. This is an outstanding opportunity to participate in one of the most comprehensive scientific programs ever assembled on cattle disease and production.

Back again this year are small group Clinical Forums, which give you, the bovine practitioner, opportunities to "pick the brains" of experts on an array of clinical topics.

All AABP members are invited to attend the most up-to-date and futuristic sessions on Beef, Cow-Calf, Dairy, Feedlot, and General cattle topics. Regardless of your interest areas, you will leave the conference with information that you can take home and use immediately in your own practice … the kind of information that will make you a better bovine practitioner.

Veterinary technicians are invited to attend a full-day Veterinary Technician program which will be held this year on Saturday. All veterinary technicians or veterinary technician students are invited to attend all conference sessions on Thursday and Friday. Veterinarians are invited to any of the sessions for technicians.

This year we again welcome the American Association of Small Ruminant Practitioners, which will meet jointly with the AABP in Charlotte. All registrants will be able to attend sessions scheduled throughout the week as part of the AABP and AASRP conference agendas … ideal for the mixed animal practitioner.

In addition to the scientific sessions, there are Practice Tips, Research Summaries, Student Case Presentations, and scientific posters that will be presented at the Charlotte Convention Center.
