Welcome message

Dear Colleagues

We are delighted that the International Symposium on Animal Bioscience will take place hybrid on November 3rd, 2023. We cordially invite you to join this international symposium that aims to inspire ambitious young researchers.

By 2050, the consumption of animal products is expected to increase by 1.7-fold globally and more than 2.0-fold in developing countries. Without sustainable development of animal production, processing, consumption, and supply chain, a stable food supply and healthy life will not be achieved. The intensification is essential for animal production to stabilize food security, but it also may increase the burden on the environment and the risk of animal and zoonotic diseases. Scientists are required to improve resource use efficiency, enhance disease control, and reduce environmental impact. In addition, the market for functional foods is projected to expand rapidly in Asia as urbanization leads to increased spending on health care products. Although excessive intake of animal products is considered a factor contributing to obesity and obesity-induced lifestyle-related diseases, animal products have a great potential to be developed into novel functional foods. Research that integrates animal science, food science, and health science is worth promoting further.

The theme of this symposium is “Recent Advances in Animal Bioscience.” Discussions will be made from a wide range of perspectives, including animal production science, life science, food science, environmental science, and others. Priority will be given to presentations by young researchers including graduate students. Outstanding presentations will be selected for excellent presentation awards. Proceedings will be published as a Supplement in Scientific Reports of the Faculty of Agriculture, Okayama University.
