The American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV) held its 53^rd Annual Meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana, February 26–March 1, 2022, at the JW Marriott Indianapolis. The conference program, themed “Defining Our Future,” was chaired by AASV President-elect Dr Mike Senn.

As reported during the annual AASV business meeting on March 1^st, the meeting drew 880 total attendees, including 459 paid registrants and 81 veterinary students from 16 universities. The total attendance also included 252 exhibit representatives from 90 companies and organizations. Including the United States, 16 countries were represented.

The meeting participants enjoyed the opportunity to listen to 213 speakers and poster presenters by attending numerous educational sessions, including 11 preconference seminars, 2 general sessions, 3 break-out sessions, 1 Research Topics session, 3 Industrial Partners sessions, the Student Seminar, and a poster session featuring posters from students, researchers, and industrial partners.

Preconference seminars included topics about influenza, pharmacology, feed risk, applied field research, nutrition, leadership, and the swine veterinarian’s toolbox in 2032. Saturday’s Diagnostics: Opportunities, Advancements, and Implementation and Sunday’s Data-Driven Decision Making preconference seminars drew the most preregistered attendees. As always, the Swine Medicine for Students preconference seminar was well attended by veterinary students. The ever-popular practice tips session, Practice Tips: Learn from the Past and Shape our Future, was judged by volunteers Drs Chelsea Hamilton, Clark Huinker, and Terri Specht, and chaired by Dr Melissa Billing. Dr Thomas Gillespie’s presentation “Ghost piglets” received the top prize, followed by Dr Jeff Harker’s “Learning to work with yourself” and Dr Jessica Risser’s “Tips and tricks for interpreting PRRS whole genome sequencing.” Sunday afternoon, veterinary students highlighted their research and experience to a large crowd during the Student Seminar.

Dr Angela Baysinger, North American animal welfare lead for all species for Merck Animal Health, 2021 AASV Meritorious Service Award recipient, and AASV’s newly elected vice-president, opened the Monday general session with the Howard Dunne Memorial Lecture. During her presentation titled “Leaping into the future: Sit down, buckle up, and hang on,” she acknowledged that members do not always have to agree but should strive to be open minded. Dr Baysinger closed with a statement inspired by a quote from Martin Luther King, Jr. She left the audience by saying, “The ultimate measure of an organization is not where the members stand in moments of comfort and convenience, but where they stand at times of challenge and controversy.”

Dr James Kober, an independent consultant and contract hog finisher, presented the Alex Hogg Memorial Lecture titled “Learning for the future.” Reminding attendees that Dr Alex Hogg completed the Executive Veterinary Program in Swine Health at age 75, he demonstrated that it was never too late to learn. Dr Kober encouraged members to reconnect with their mentors throughout their careers, emphasizing that mentorship is a lifelong endeavor.

A panel of dynamic speakers shared their perspectives on diversity, equity, and inclusion in veterinary medicine during the general session. Speakers shared a similar theme of acknowledgment and apology, acceptance of an opportunity to learn, and forward movement with new knowledge.

The Monday afternoon concurrent sessions challenged veterinarians to evaluate PRRSV RFLP 1-4-4 and its management; think critically about sustainability and animal welfare; and consider new tools to address disease prevention, control, and elimination. The Tuesday general session focused on foreign animal disease preparedness and response. A panel of state animal health officials from Indiana, Iowa, and Minnesota answered numerous questions from the audience.

The AASV continued to emphasize member well-being by hosting the AASV Veterinarian Well-being Center. The center offered an American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Wheel of Well-Being, interactive displays, and tips to support a culture of well-being from AASV leaders past and present. The AASV Human Health, Safety, and Well-Being Committee prepared an activity to help attendees get to know and appreciate their AASV colleagues and promote well-being and inclusivity at the annual meeting.

In addition, 15 AASV committees met during the annual meeting to discuss important issues in swine health, public health, animal well-being, and membership services. A new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee, established by the AASV Board of Directors at their April 2021 meeting, focused their discussions on promoting a socially conscious organizational culture that affirms the value of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The AASV Awards Reception was held Monday night, followed by the AASV Foundation’s annual fund-raising auction. Dr Scanlon Daniels, 2018 AASV president and 2022 AASV Awards Committee chair, introduced the recipients of the Swine Practitioner of the Year Award (Dr Dyneah Classen), the Howard Dunne Memorial Award (Dr Tim Loula), the Meritorious Service Award (Dr Daryl Olsen), the new Outstanding Swine Academic of the Year Award (Dr Montserrat Torremorell), the Technical Services/Allied Industry Veterinarian of the Year Award (Dr Gregory Cline), and the Young Swine Veterinarian of the Year Award (Dr Lauren Glowzenski).

When asked to comment on what the award means to him, Dr Loula said, “I feel incredibly honored to receive this award and to be in the company of such an impressive list of past recipients. I would like to thank my colleagues in the AASV, especially my partners at Swine Veterinary Center, for your friendship and for being an invaluable source of continual learning for me. I thank all my clients for allowing me to learn at least as much from them as they did from me. And thank you to all my other friends in this industry who helped me in countless ways to do my job and have fun doing it. But above all, I’d like to thank my family – my wife Ruth, my business and life partner for 44 years, our 2 children and their spouses, and our 6 grandchildren. Their love and support have kept me grounded and have been essential to not only my career, but to every part of my life.”

Meritorious Service Award

AASV annual business meeting

American Association of Swine Veterinarians President Dr Mary Battrell reported on the association’s membership and activities during the annual business meeting on Tuesday, March 1^st. The 2022 AASV officers, Drs Mike Senn, president; Bill Hollis, president-elect; Angela Baysinger, vice president; and Mary Battrell, past president, were installed. The board welcomed newly elected district directors Drs Stephen Patterson (District 3) and Maryn Ptaschinski (District 7). Dr Battrell also welcomed Hunter Everett (North Carolina State University, class of 2024) as incoming alternate student delegate to the AASV Board of Directors and thanked outgoing Student Delegate Amanda Anderson (Iowa State University, 2022).

Honored guests at the business breakfast included Drs Jose Arce (American Veterinary Medical Association president), Sam Miller (American Veterinary Medical Association), Dustin Oedekoven (National Pork Board), Liz Wagstrom (National Pork Producers Council), and Paul Sundberg (Swine Health Information Center).

Student activities held during AASV Annual Meeting

It is part of the mission of the American Association of Swine Veterinarians to “mentor students, encouraging life-long careers as swine veterinarians.” To help fulfill this mission, the association encourages veterinary students to attend the AASV annual meeting and offers a variety of activities for student participation during the conference. Once again, the AASV Annual Meeting offered excellent opportunities for students to learn about swine medicine, network with each other, connect with swine faculty, and meet veterinarians and potential mentors.

Annual AASV student membership is $15. Student member registration to the Annual Meeting is free and includes access to all educational sessions and activities, including the preconference seminars on Saturday and Sunday – a real squeal-of-a-deal! As usual, AASV’s Student Recruitment Committee promoted several conference activities designed especially for veterinary students, including the Swine Medicine for Students preconference seminar, a vet hunt, a speed networking opportunity for upper-class students, and the Swine Student Trivia event.

Student Trivia

Merck Animal Health hosted and sponsored prizes for a pub-style trivia event. Nearly 70 students from 13 veterinary schools participated, and all teams competed extremely well! Prizes were awarded for the top three teams, with the winning team getting Bluetooth speakers, tumblers, and gloves. The AASV student delegates Sydney Simmons and Hunter Everett coordinated the sign-ups, Dr Megan Inskeep welcomed the students and reviewed the benefits of AASV student membership, and AASV Student Recruitment Committee Chair Dr Chelsea Hamilton and members Drs Corinne Bromfield and Bri Fredrich emceed the event. While only student teams were eligible to participate, anyone attending the Annual Meeting was welcome to observe and cheer on the teams.

Vet Hunt

The Vet Hunt encouraged veterinary students to network with veterinarians. For a chance to win prizes, students introduced themselves to and visited with at least ten veterinarians who voluntarily participated in the Vet Hunt. The prizes were sponsored by Merck Animal Health.

Speed Networking

Speed networking during the Annual Meeting provided a fun way for mentors, potential employers, swine-savvy students, future interns, and potential new employees to interact with each other. Eight upper-class veterinary students met with sixteen veterinarians, spending 3 minutes to visit with each other in speed-dating style.

Students made meaningful connections and appreciated the opportunity to practice their interviewing and networking skills, even if participating veterinarians were not hiring. In addition to helping students become more proficient at discussions with potential employers, veterinarians also used the opportunity to screen potential candidates for jobs or preceptorships.

Podcasts

AASV once again provided an opportunity for students to earn a $200 stipend by conducting a recorded interview of an AASV speaker for podcasting. Six students selected a speaker, prepared questions in advance, and interviewed speakers during the Annual Meeting. The end products will be 5- to 15-minute MP3 audio recordings available to members in the AASV Podcast Library at aasv.org/podcast/.

Student Reception

Always a favorite, the Student Reception sponsored by Merck Animal Health drew a large crowd on Sunday evening. Students, veterinarians, researchers, and industry representatives spent the evening interacting with each other in an informal setting. The reception was filled with plenty of snacks, beverages, and magical entertainment.

AASV members attending the annual meeting make a substantial investment in the form of registration fees, travel, lodging, meals, and potential loss of income while away from work. However, the cost of attendance would be even greater - or the quality of the meeting experience reduced - if it were not for the financial support provided by corporate sponsors for refreshments, meals, and social activities, as well as for travel stipends, awards, and scholarships for veterinary students. In addition, considerable support was provided by the 90 companies and organizations in the 2022 Technical Tables exhibit.
