Highlights and outcomes of the 4th International Symposium |
|
 From April 8 to 10, 2010, 185 attendees from 25 countries convened in Dallas, Texas, to focus on advancing new tools to humanely and
effectively manage populations of pet and un-owned cats and dogs. Experts in
reproductive biology and other related scientific disciplines presented the
newest research and discussed perspectives with industry experts in animal health drug development. Veterinary leaders joined with animal welfare and
advocacy groups, foundation representatives, public health officials and others
to assess the tools currently available for use. Together, these stakeholders
looked at where we are, what is possible, and what is needed to advance
non-surgical methods for controlling cat and dog reproduction around the world...
