Instructions for Authors

Information for authors preparing a paper for the 2006 conference

GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF ABSTRACTS

An abstract is the basis on which the Management Committee accepts or rejects your offer of a paper for presentation at the Conference. You will increase your chance of acceptance by complying with these guidelines. The abstract should be self contained, readable and easily understood by people not intimately involved in the field. You should emphasise not just the science of your work but also the value of it to the science and/or farming communities you are serving. The abstract should contain clear objectives, appropriate data (with statistical parameters such as standard error of means or probability estimates) and conclusions as appropriate. Unnecessary jargon and abbreviations, and information not relevant to the objectives and conclusions should be avoided. Do not include tables, equations or references.

Please ensure that:

1. The title and names of all authors are provided.
2. The name, address, phone, fax number and email address of the corresponding author are given to facilitate contact regarding your submission.
3. The abstract is set (excluding title and authors) in 12 point Times Roman. A maximum of 350 words is allowed. Do not include tables, equations or references.
4. If possible please submit the abstract electronically to the Executive Secretary. The abstract form can be downloaded from the website or requested from the Secretary. E-mail the abstract in Microsoft WORD format to nzsap.animal@xtra.co.nz. The abstract may be mailed to the Executive Secretary if you do not have access to email.
5. Abstracts must be received by 5 November 2005.
6. Do not include tables, equations or references.
