The 2025 Interbull Meeting was held at the Marriott Downtown Louisville hotel in Louisville, KY, USA, from June 21 to June 22, in conjunction with the ADSA meeting. The Interbull Technical Committee (ITC) met already on Thursday prior to the meetings and again on the Sunday right after the last Interbull session, for their regular ITC meetings. The Interbull Steering Committee (SC) had their usual first meeting on the Friday and then on the Tuesday after the meeting. On Saturday and Sunday, the Interbull community gathered for the Interbull Open sessions on “Implementing New Traits ", "Experience with Single Step" (two sessions were allocated for this topic!), "Meta-analysis & Big Data", “Efficiency & Sustainability” (two sessions were allocated for this topic with one fully focusing towards methane evaluations!). Two Business Meetings were scheduled which took places on the same days. This year was also a special year for the Interbull Centre and its community as it marked the end of the term for few key people both in the ITC and SC committees: Our SC chair, Matthew Shaffer, stepped down as representative of Other regions. In the ITC, Raphael Mrode (SRUC, Great Britain) and Iola Croué (Geneval, France) both ended their terms. A tribute to Matthew and Raphael was presented during the first Business Meeting. They were both thanked for their expertise and contributions to the group and Interbull as a whole. Urs Schnyder (Qualitas, Switzerland) has been appointed as the new Steering Committee’s chair and Filippo Miglior (LACTANET, Canada) appointed as the new chair. For the ITC, an expression of interest for being an ITC member was issued in January, a pleasing number of applications were received: Attilio Rossoni (ANARB, Italy) and Ignacio Aguilar (INIA, Uruguay) were selected and appointed by the Interbull SC as ITC members for 3 and 4-years terms, respectively. We at the Interbull Centre would like once again to express our gratitude for the endless help, support and guidance that Matthew and Raphael have provided us over the years: we are going to miss you!!! At the same time, as life moves on, we are delighted to welcome Sebastian, Carolina, Attilio and Ignacio to the interbull community and are looking forward for what certainly will be a fruitful and productive collaboration: welcome to the Interbull Committees!!!

On Monday, it was time for the ADSA/Interbull sessions on “Management of Genetic Diversity for Future-Proofing Dairy Cattle Breeding” and “Creating Carbon-Friendly Cows and Leveraging Omics to Improve the Sustainability of Dairy Production.”

This year’s Interbull meeting has hosted 125 participants from 26 countries. Enjoy the pictures!
