Abstracts
Guidelines for Virtual Poster Submission
Due to the hybrid nature of the symposium we will be displaying posters on the Gut Health website in PDF format in addition to presenters presenting them at the symposium in-person. Printed posters or photographs of printed posters will NOT be accepted.
If your poster was accepted you are required to register for the symposium to present in-person and you are required to submit a PDF poster by the deadline.
Poster Submission Deadline: 8 October 2021
The poster should be a clear visual presentation of your accepted abstract and should meet the following criteria. The below guidelines are for the PDF/virtual poster only. For questions about your in-person poster requirements, please email morganm@assochq.org.
Title of the poster
- The title of the poster should be the same as the title of the accepted abstract.
Poster size and format
- The poster must be submitted as a PDF to morganm@assochq.org.
- Make sure that you do not exceed the limit of 3 pages for your PDF poster. Additional pages may include FAQ.
Content of the poster
- Make sure that the specific sections (such as the background, methods, results, and conclusions) are readable clear when zooming into and out of the PDF.
- Use only static images and do not embed any videos or animation in your poster. This PDF poster should be the same as the poster you present in-person.
The topics for abstracts are:
- Measurements of gut health / Intestinal barrier function (new ways to determine a healthy gut / barrier breakdown in disease or models and/or strengthening due to intervention)
- Host Mucosa-microbe interactions (mucus, epithelium, immune responses to microbes (commensals or pathogens))
- Mucosal immunobiology (anything immunology)
- Nutrition and gut health (anything nutrition involving gut, not probiotics)
- Measuring gut microbiota impact on gut health (microbiota/microbiome studies, must incorporate host measurements besides FCR and weight)
- Mechanisms of beneficial microbes activity on gut health (mechanistic studies of pro-, pre-biotics, must incorporate mechanism of action studies)
- Age dependent development of the microbiome (acquisition and development of the microbiome, ex. neonates/chicks to older animals)
- Beneficial physiological effects of gut health (physiological studies beyond the gut, not FCR or weight alone)
- Non-microbial interventions in gut health (anything impacting gut health that is not a pre- pro- biotic, ex. small molecules, post-biotics)
