North of Ireland Veterinary Association (NIVA) Meeting at VSD, AFBI (Stormont) - 14.09.11

NIVA's autumn scientific meeting took place on the 14th September 2011 at the veterinary science devision of AFBI (Stormont). A highly successful event was held, with a superb attendance (75) from the veterinary profession. Following a tour of the complex, talks were provided demonstrating some of the ground breaking projects that are currently the focus of much of the work being undertaken at VSD. A full review of the event including download-able versions of the talks are available from the link provided below.
