The American Dairy Science Association and the American Society of Animal Science invite you to be a part of the 1998 ADSA - ASAS Joint Meeting in Denver, Colorado July 27-31.
More than 3,000 researchers, educators, extension specialists, manufacturers, consultants, and others with a stake in the future of animal agriculture will meet to share their latest research.

The joint meeting will be held at the Colorado Convention Center in

restaurants and nightlife along 16th Street Mall, minutes from Coors Field
(home to Colorado Rockies baseball), and a short drive to some of the country's
most exquisite mountain ranges in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.

Since its founding in 1906, ADSA has been dedicated to promoting the
welfare of the dairy industry through discovery and dissemination of knowledge,
recognition of outstanding personal achievement, publication of original

of interest include dairy cattle improvement, management and health; extension

ADSA has more than 5,600 professional, student, and institutional members.
The American Society of Animal Science
ASAS was organized in 1908 to obtain more effective research results, to
promote professional advancement in animal science, and to cooperate with
other organizations with similar objectives. Today, ASAS, a professional
society with more than 6,500 active members and institutions representing
110 countries, provides effective leadership through research, extension,
teaching, service, and publication activities. Interests of members are
