ADSA asks: Do You Know about S-PAC – LDHM Bundle?
While we have S-PAC® (Searchable Proceedings of Animal Conferences) subscribers in nearly 40 countries and all attendees of the ADSA annual meeting, the Discover and many other Conferences are provided with S-PAC information, we’ve found that that some ADSA members and potential members may still not be aware of one of the significant benefits of ADSA membership, the opportunity to utilize S-PAC. Included in your membership dues is access through S-PAC to searchable Joint Annual Meeting abstracts for 1998-2016, ADSA annual meeting abstracts from 2017 forward and past ADSA meetings from 1935-1997, as well as ADSA divisional meeting abstracts
and
Members have the opportunity to subscribe to S-PAC at the deeply discounted ADSA member rate. Subscriptions run for 365 days from date of sign-up.
Professionals $75; Undergrads $5 and Grads $10
ADSA member rates are extended to ARPAS members as well as members of other organizations and conferences who share their proceedings through S-PAC. Each individual annual subscription to S-PAC now includes your personal copy of the Large Dairy Herd Management (3rd ed., e-book).
Corporate sustaining member and academic library subscriptions are also available, as S-PAC brings current real world science and its application into the classroom and the office.
S-PAC is the most comprehensive collection of domestic and international animal production and management conference proceedings in the world. It includes animal health, dairy foods and grazing conference proceedings as well. This unique, completely user searchable collection of conference proceedings and presentations is a must-have resource for animal scientists, veterinarians, academicians, consultants and members of industry around the world. It is a great teaching resource as well since it includes current real-world application of science. As of November, 2021, 63 conferences have contributed 676 sets of proceedings, with new conferences and proceedings added frequently. Our most recent conference addition was the Animal Nutrition Conference of Canada and the most recent publication were the presentation summaries from Discover 41, The value of S-PAC increases every time a conference and a set of proceedings is added. If one can't attend the multitude of conferences that S-PAC covers, S-PAC is the next best thing to being there!

- Ensure the capacity of the Foundation to act in accordance with its mission as opportunities arise
