Session I: Extension During a Pandemic, presentations will include talks from Dr. Robert Goodling and Dr. Bonnie Burr, the graduate poster competition and general poster session.

Session II: Advances in Feed Efficiency with speakers including; Dr. Lydia Hardie, Dr. Jack Dekkers, and Dr. Melinda Ellison.

This great virtual meeting platform makes it easy for: engagement in Q&A with presenters in the lecture hall; attendees to communicate with other attendees at their table; interaction with colleagues during breaks and participation in daily trivia questions in the virtual lobby.

Presentations and discussions on large animal genetic engineering applications, procedures and regulations. The summit will bring together reproductive biologists, geneticists, molecular biologists, preclinical and clinical researchers, and animal model developers.

The Swine in Biomedical Research Conference 2020 is the seventh in the quintessential conference series. Since its inception in 1995, advances from the sequencing of the pig genome to the recent evolution of gene editing technologies have dramatically changed the landscape of porcine models. SBR 2020 marks the coming era of translational research in pigs, that promises to accelerate the discovery and development of clinically relevant therapies and technologies. It aims to foster collaborations between clinicians, biomedical researchers and animal scientists, and spark partnerships with the biomedical industry.

This is the 13th workshop in a series, beginning in 1995, designed to develop and use genomic tools for horses. The meeting is open to scientists interested in developing and using genomic tools for the horse. The goals of the workshop are to share scientific findings among horse researchers, foster collaboration between international horse scientists, and define goals for the horse genome research community

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.

The theme of the 24th AAABG Conference is �Widening the range of technologies used in animal breeding and genetics� with an emphasis on the many new tools that are now available to improve animal breeding programs. These tools range from novel methods for developing additional phenotypes to innovative molecular approaches to increase the accuracy of genetic selection.

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

In response to the expanding global population, worldwide climate changes, and dramatic plant and animal genome research occurring in Asia Pacific, the organizers of the Plant and Animal Genome Conference are planning a short version of PAG to be held in Shenzhen, China in 2020.

Sessions:

Improving genetic merit for enhanced efficiency and preserve the biodiversity; Current and emerging health issues for goat production; Goat production systems of the future; Optimization of feeding and nutrition; Environment, climate change and goats; Recent research and current advances in goat products; Market and societal avenues.

Round tables:

Transferring genomic technologies to breeding and commercial farms; The future of goat skin and fibre production; Gender considerations in goat farming and processing; Best practices for national goat associations; An update on the control / eradication of epizootic diseases.

Workshops:

Agro-tourism and goat farming – sustainability of rural areas; Post anthelmintic era: how to implement the concept of integrated control to gastrointestinal parasites? Models and tools for development and transfer of appropriate technology to small and resource-limited farms.

The WFC Steering Committee has made the difficult decision to postpone the World Fisheries Congress to September 2021 (dates to be announced).

Abstracts are required by September 27, 2021.

Full papers for proceedings are required by September 27, 2021.

Early registration until October 15, 2021.

Registration capped at 150 people.

▪ To share the latest world-class research on genetics and genomics for increasing efficiency and sustainability of aquaculture.

▪ To discuss strategies and results for the integration of novel genomic tools in aquaculture breeding and production.

▪ To provide a forum for the industry and academy to learn from each other from the latest developments and applications of genetics and genomics.

▪ To examine the past and present of aquaculture genetics for envisioning future challenges and opportunities in the field.

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).

Will be held in conjunction with the International Committee of Animal Recording (ICAR) annual conference, and the Interbull Annual Conference.
