2021 Florida Ruminant Nutrition Symposium May 12-14

University of Florida

 

The 2021 Florida Ruminant Nutrition Symposium will take place from May 12 to 14. Because of the pandemic, the event, which is typically held in February in Gainesville, Florida, this year it will be offered in a virtual format.

We have prepared a program that focuses on mitigating the footprint of dairy and beef production, trace mineral metabolism and digestion, and macro mineral absorption, metabolism and implication to mineral-related disorders in cattle.

The program will be offered in a convenient and accessible way to anyone. Presentations are pre-recorded and accessible ahead of the event. Live presentations and panel discussions with sessions for questions and answers will occur on the days of the event.

Experts from academia and the private sector will join us with 11 presentations that are pre-recorded and accessible starting on May 8 to those registered to the Symposium. Access to the talks and discussions will continue past the period of the event for those registered.

Attendees will be able to access the presentations ahead of time at their convenience and they will remain available after the Symposium for those registered.

On the days of the event (May 12 to 14), which will be held from 11 AM EDT (1100 h EDT) to 2 PM EDT (1400 h EDT), the program will start with a keynote presentation followed by three 15-minute presentations that summarize what was discussed in their complete pre-recoded talks. A live, over 1 hour, roundtable debate with a panel of moderators and presenters will discuss key issues of the topics of the day and address questions formulated and sent by the audience.
