Articles available from this page were originally presented at symposia held at the ASAS annual meetings in 1998 (Denver, Colorado) and 1999 (Indianapolis, Indiana) or at ASAS Sectional meetings in 1999 or 2000. Articles are posted to the Web site as they are ready for publication. All symposia from which articles were submitted for online publication are listed below, but the associated articles may not yet be posted to the site. Please check the site later for new additions.

These papers are indexed in the December 2000 print and online issues of the Journal of Animal Science. The Designations E1, E2, etc. in red to the left of the article titles correspond to the index entries for these papers.

Articles are posted in Adobe PDF format and are available without a password. All articles have been peer-reviewed. For purposes of citing any of these articles in subsequent research published in Journal of Animal Science, please use the following format:
