A joint ICAR-Interbull session addresses “Supporting Circular Economy: How Does it Affect the Breeding Goals?”

And during the Interbull Business Meeting we wish to update the ICAR, Interbull and Animal breeding communities on our activities at the Interbull Centre, and welcome the exchange of thoughts with the participants.

More details about the program and speakers are here. Note that the program will be updated as more information becomes available, so please check regularly.

The conference will be a virtual conference. A professional conference platform will be available with different means for fruitful interaction with the presenters and with your fellow participants. Complementary to the scientific program there will be a Manufacturers Showcase, Digital Pitches and Digital Booths.

The conference offers an excellent opportunity to get in touch with the latest development in the sector. This conference is of great interest for policy makers on future farming systems, for researchers, for staff and for managers involved in cattle breeding, animal performance recording and sensor technology around the globe.
