2021 Conference:
Cancelled due to Covid-19
We look forward to seeing everyone in 2022
The Mid-Atlantic Nutrition Conference (formerly the Maryland Nutrition Conference) is recognized as a premier educational event for the animal nutrition industry. Local, national, and international nutritionists share new, innovative, and practical research being conducted at universities, in industry and at government institutions. Regulatory issues and future opportunities are discussed. The program has historically been focused on poultry, dairy, and equine nutrition. In 2019 a Companion Animal session was added, and we are looking forward to piloting a Sheep and Goat session in the future!
Brought to you by the following affiliations: Maryland Feed Industry Council, University of Maryland, American Feed Industry Association, Pennsylvania State University, Rutgers University, University of Delaware, University of Pennsylvania - Veterinary School, USDA, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, West Virginia University.

Rooms must be reserved by TBD.
Student Poster Contest
I highly encourage each student to submit abstracts and prepare posters to present at the Mid-Atlantic Nutrition Conference on TBA date. This year we will again have a graduate and undergraduate competition section and each student will have an abstract made available online post-conference. Posters will be evaluated by three industry judges (one from each area: dairy, equine and poultry). The student must be present on April 8th to answer questions during the morning break. This is the judging period where the posters will be evaluated for scientific merit, organization and presentation, and student knowledge of the project.

Abstracts must be submitted by TBA and be sent directly to Dr. Carey Williams.
This year we are pleased to offer awards to 1st -3rd place in each division, sponsored by Cumberland Valley Analytical and MARS Equestrian.
