12th EEHNC: Call for abstracts
Abstracts should deal with experimental studies on equine nutrition or with cases providing novel insights or hypotheses relevant to equine health or performance. Submitting abstracts dealing with the congress theme(s) is strongly encouraged.
A call for abstracts will be open from October 1st until December 1st, 2024. Please submit your abstracts to: abstracts@equine-congress.com.
All abstracts will initially be submitted for Poster Presentations. Authors of accepted posters will need to bring a hard copy of their poster and submit a screen presentation [mini-PowerPoint: 5-slides max, no sound] to be able to display the posters on screen at the different congress locations.
A limited number of relevant abstracts may be invited for a short oral presentation in the research meeting that is provisionally scheduled on Thursday, March 13 (morning). This session is a follow-up of previous EEHNC editions and is dedicated to the validation of “in-vitro systems for assessing equine gastrointestinal tract health and updates related to the BACIN2DLIVER project”. This track is open to advanced researchers & PhD students working on this topic. If you do not wish to be considered for an oral presentation, please indicate this in your email when submitting the abstract.
