Please join us June 3-7, 2018 at the Amarillo Embassy Suites for the 6th International Symposium on Animal Mortality Management in Amarillo, Texas. This triennial symposium was established in 2005 and is an excellent opportunity to learn about the latest research, educational programs, and technologies available for disinfection, decontamination, depopulation, and disposal. Those who should attend include:
- Federal and state government stakeholders
- Veterinarians
- Academic researchers
- Extension educators
- Food and agriculture emergency managers
- Public health managers
- Food animal processors
- Renderers and composters
The Symposium also serves as an opportunity to learn about managing animal tissue (mortalities, products, and by-products) research and education programs. Those who should attend include:
- Students conducting graduate research carcass disposal, disinfection, and disposal
- Researchers and educators from academic institutions
- Anyone interested in research and education to manage mortalities for nuclear disasters, chemical containment of feed, natural disasters, and high consequence livestock diseases
If you would like additional information on the Symposium or have suggestions for topics of interest for international participants please contact me at garyaflory@gmail.com or any other member of the Steering Committee. The 5th International Symposium drew 50 international participants and I want to make sure that the 6th is even more valuable for both our US and international participants.
