Non Technical Summary
The ADSA-ASAS Joint Annual Meeting Cell Symposium was a new symposium being offered yearly at the 2008, 2009 and 2010 Joint Annual Meeting. This symposia series is being designed as an educational opportunity for animal and dairy scientists to be exposed to cutting edge cell biology as it relates to animal and dairy production with a focus on growth and nutrient utilization. Specifically this three year Cell Symposia series is the latest in a series of meetings dedicated to presentation and dissemination of information at the cutting edge of basic research with application to production species. This symposia is a new effort being put forth by ASAS and 2008 will represent the inaugural year. In the inaugural year and the following two years, this symposium is being advertised as one of the highlights to the ADSA-ASAS Joint Annual Meeting.

Goals / Objectives
This symposia series specifically focused on cutting edge research at the cellular level with emphasis on an element of Growth and Development linked to animal production. The goal of these symposia was to offer a superior cell based basic research symposium at the ADSA-ASAS Joint Annual Meeting for both eduction of Animal and Dairy Scientists and to increase the involvement of scientists outside of traditional Animal and Dairy Sciences in the ADSA-ASAS Joint Annual Meeting. Each year over the three years, topics were chosen for an expanded review and in depth discussion of new information related to critical issues in animal production on the cellular level. An international panel of invited speakers delivered presentations related to various aspects of animal production on the cellular level. Using a number of model species with particular emphasis on livestock, the program created opportunities for comparative discussion during the workshop.
