The Conference will be hosted by the University of Lleida. It will be an excellent opportunity to bring together outstanding scientists, policy makers, professionals and students from interdisciplinary animal genetics fields to share the latest developments, meet old friends and form new partnerships.

Animal Genetics, Nutrition, Health and Welfare, Physiology, Livestock Farming Systems, Cattle production, Sheep and Goat Production, Pig Production, Horse Production, Insects, Precision livestock Farming.

Agriculture species genome conference covering aquaculture, cattle, chicken, horse, pigs, sheep, bioinformatics. Topics range from gene mapping, expression, functions, related bioinformatics, and applications. The PAG will bring together over 2,500 leading genetic scientists and reseachers in plant and animal research, and over than 120 exhibits, 120 workshops, 900 posters and 1500 abstracts.

This is the premier conference for researchers and professionals involved in genetic improvement of livestock. Delegates from around the world gather every four years to attend the scientific program and to network with colleagues. This 11th WCGALP builds on previous successful congresses in Madrid (Spain, 1974 and 1982), Lincoln (USA, 1986), Edinburgh (UK, 1990), Guelph (Canada, 1994), Armidale (Australia, 1998), Montpellier (France, 2002), Belo Horizonte (Brazil, 2006), Leipzig (Germany, 2010) and Vancouver (Canada, 2014).
