X International Symposium
on Ruminant Physiology
in
Copenhagen, August 30th August to September 4th, 2004

POSTER PRESENTATION GUIDELINES

Presentations should be based on original research not previously reported in a research publication. Sound experimental design and interpretation are essential.

 Posters should be mounted at the beginning of the symposium and no later than one half hour before the beginning of the day’s session. Posters will remain on display for public viewing throughout the symposium.

From Tuesday to Saturday there are 50 min blocks dedicated for poster presentation: mornings from 10:25-11:05 (Monday to Saturday) and afternoons from 14:55-15:35 (not Wednesday and Saturday).

For every session, posters presentations have been divided between two blocks to facilitate discussions in between presenters within each session.

The presenting authors are required to be available at their posters during the poster presentation block the paper is assigned to.

The poster board surface area is 90 cm wide and 185 cm high. The top of the poster space should include the poster number (see below), title, authors, and affiliations. Presenters must furnish their own tacks or push pins. (Velcro may or may not work.)

Poster Number and how to locate the correct Poster Board

Each poster board has been assigned a number identical to the number stated in the Contents of short papers m as they will appear in the symposium proceedings in Journal of Animal and Feed Sciences.

This will be the number also of the poster board assigned to your poster at the symposium venue.

Please note that the Contents of short papers include papers to be presented as posters as well as short papers to be presented orally. There will not be poster boards available for short papers for oral presentation. Corresponding authors requested to present their papers orally have already been notified directly.

 

Preparing and presenting your poster

* Your story should proceed logically, with headings indicating sections e.g.: Introduction,
  Objective(s), Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusions.

* Graphs should have titles, the axes should be named, and units should be quantified.
   Tables should also be titled. All data must be in SI units.

*  Include a small picture of yourself near the abstract number and the title so people can
   identify you as the presenter of the poster.

* Avoid excessive use of text.

* Text should be bold and large. Title should be legible from a distance of 5-10 meters and
text from 1.5-2 meters.

* Handouts of the poster or summaries are useful to bring. If your paper has been published,
   have extra copies of the paper ready to hand out to those that are interested.
