The International All Things Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV) Conference is planned as a welcoming and collaborative gathering place for sharing ideas, successes, challenges, and needs regarding BLV – while providing career development, mentorship, and training to early career individuals and students.
The international gathering for discussion and learning among researchers, extension specialists, producer, veterinarians, and students is vital for progress in global bovine leukosis diagnosis, management, and control. The conference will stimulate interests and build community and collaboration around BLV.
This conference includes presentations in BLV from lead researchers across the globe, as well as accounts of success and challenges of BLV management from engaged producers and veterinarians.
This program will be submitted for American Association of Veterinary State Board RACE approval (but is not yet approved) for 8 hours of continuing education credit in jurisdictions which recognize RACE approval and for American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists (ARPAS) credits. Notification of credit status will be updated here and the All Things BLV website https://www.canr.msu.edu/blv/Meetings/all-things-blv-2023.
