“The evolution of planet-wide breeding practices in relation to climate issues rallies the scientific community on many scientific fronts. It will for example be at the heart of exchanges because it makes it possible to change the herds, the efficiency of the feeding of the animals and thus the practices of the breeders which can lead to a reduction in the environmental footprint.Jean-Francois Hoquette, Director of Research at the National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRAE) and Chairman of the Scientific Organizing Committee of the Conference.
The event is organized by INRAE and the French Zoological Association (AFZ), on behalf of the European Zoological Association (EAAP), the World Zoological Association (WAAP) and France’s Génétique Élevage on behalf of Interbull.
