History of the ALVMA’s
Conference for Food Animal
Veterinarians
ALVMA’s Conference for Food Animal
Veterinarians was formed in 1992 by Dr.
James G. Floyd, Extension Veterinarian, to
provide continuing education focused on
timely topics for veterinarians engaged in
food animal practice. In 2006, Dr. Soren
Rodning became Extension Veterinarian,
as well as Chair of the ALVMA Food
Animal Affairs Committee and Program
Chairman. The program has expanded
over the years to include some equine
and practice management sessions to
fully assist the food and mixed animal
practitioner.

Historically, the meetings were held at
The Alabama 4-H Center in Columbiana,
AL because of its central location and
relaxed rural setting. The conference has
seen success over the last 30 years with attendees traveling from all over Alabama as well as surrounding states to
attend. Due to the growth of the conference, it was decided in 2020 to move the conference to Auburn, AL.

What is New for 2022?

Location
We will be moving to a new venue in 2022 as part of an effort to provide even higher quality continuing education.
We will be meeting on February 11-13, 2022 at The Hotel at Auburn University and Dixon Conference Center, Auburn,
AL. At this time, Food Animal Conference lectures will be held at the Dixon Conference Center and the Sunday Wet
Labs will be held at Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine.

Celebrating 30 Years
This year will be the 30th Annual Conference for Food Animal
Veterinarians! We will be taking a walk down memory lane,
highlighting Food Animal Conferences of the past. Please feel
free to join in the celebration and participate in our theme of
Celebrating 30 Years! in any way that you can.

We continue to monitor local, state & federal guidelines
related to COVID-19 and will comply with any health & safety
regulations or recommendations at the time of the event.
