Acknowledgments
We would like to express our appreciation to all those who contributed to the success of this Symposium.
The Local Steering Committee provided tremendous assistance in everything from fundraising to
program development to publications/editorial review to registration; their commitment of time and
energy was essential to the success of this conference and will be reflected throughout the next three
days.
We want to acknowledge the essential role of the Federation of Animal Science Societies (FASS) in
the development and maintenance of the website, registration, accounting, receiving and processing
of abstracts and papers and printing of this program booklet. Conference Direct provided efficient and
professional assistance in venue selection and on-site management, including serving as a liaison
between Keystone and attendees, planning all menus and the gala and general overall logistics. We
also want to acknowledge the support of the American Society of Animal Science for its encouragement
of our initial hosting of the meeting and for publishing the papers in a special e-supplement of their
journal. We could not have been successful without these three organizations lending their expertise
to the excellence of our conference.
Thank you especially to all of our sponsors for their generous financial support. Without them, the
registration fee would have been much, much higher and the quality of the program much lower.
Finally, we truly appreciate how accommodating the staff at Keystone Resort and Conference Center
has been throughout the planning and organization of this event.
