推薦-International symposium on Genetics and Reproductive Management for Animal Production
Good morning. It is indeed my great honor and pleasure to address at this important gathering. First, on behalf of the Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan, Republic of China, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of you to the “International Symposium on Genetics and Reproductive Management for Animal Production”. My appreciation also goes to the cosponsor of APAARI for their supports and to recognize the efforts of the Livestock Research Institute for organizing this symposium.
The gross production value of Taiwan animal industry to the primary sector of agriculture was 33% and value was 4.8 billion USD in 2010. Breed selection and reproductive technology are keys for the improvement of production efficiency in livestock and poultry farming in Taiwan. Hence, the symposium primarily aims at strengthen the genetics and reproductive technologies capacity of countries within the Asian-Pacific region and envision paving the way for the enhancement of their respective livestock and poultry industry. The symposium will consist of lectures, including genetics and reproductive managements of farm animals, quarantine of livestock and poultry in Southeast Asian Countries, sperm sexing technology, preservation of livestock germ cells, farm animal for biomedical research, and major forage cultivars in Taiwan, as well as a field trip.
