Get ready for the ICAR 2024 Bled Annual Conference, a captivating event that brings together experts in animal breeding and production. This year’s conference, centered around the theme “Sustainable Livestock Production Systems in a New Era,” will delve into crucial topics like milk production recording, animal health, milk analysis, sustainability, and artificial intelligence.
Decision Support Tools for Sustainable Farms
The conference will explore decision support tools that can help farmers create more sustainable and efficient operations. During the session “Decision Support Tools of the Future – Promoting Sustainability Farm Management,” chaired by Robert H. Fourdraine, attendees will uncover new insights into improving farm management and fostering a sustainable future.
Unleashing the Power of Milk Analysis
Discover how milk analysis is revolutionizing the dairy industry! Sessions like “New tools to extend the horizon of milk mid-infrared spectrometry” led by Josée Bordeleau will delve into the latest advancements in milk mid-infrared spectrometry, opening up new possibilities for understanding milk quality and optimizing production.
A Focus on Reducing Methane Emissions
The impact of livestock on the environment is a critical concern. ICAR 2024 will address the pressing issue of methane emissions from ruminants. The session “Global challenges in genetic selection for lower methane emission in ruminants,” co-chaired by Birgit Gredler-Grandl and Roel Veerkamp, will showcase the latest research on genetic strategies aimed at reducing methane production in cattle and other ruminants.
A Collaborative Journey Towards Sustainability
The conference will highlight innovative approaches to sustainability in different livestock sectors. Sessions such as “How to relate on farm sustainability and milk analysis?” chaired by Josée Bordeleau will explore the interconnection between milk analysis and sustainable practices on farms.
Exploring New Frontiers in Animal Breeding
ICAR 2024 will bring together researchers and practitioners to advance the field of animal breeding. The session “New approaches in the field of functional traits for management and breeding” co-chaired by Christa Egger Danner and Luiz Brito, will highlight the latest findings on functional traits in animals, providing valuable insights for both animal management and breeding programs.
