The American Association of Swine Veterinarians has announced the participants in the annual Veterinary Student Poster Competition, sponsored by United Animal Health. The competition will be held Sunday, March 5, during the 2023 Annual Meeting in Aurora, Colorado.

All posters will be available for viewing by the meeting attendees starting at noon on Sunday and continuing through Monday.
