WELCOME MESSAGE
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the International Research Center for Animal Welfare (IRCAW), we wish to extend a warm welcome to you to attend the 2025 International Symposium on Animal Environment and Welfare (ISAEW 2025) in Rongchang, Chongqing, China.
Livestock farming is a pillar of the global food system and a critical contributor to poverty reduction and food security. Although livestock farming has advanced significantly in the past decades globally, there is room to improve for productively, efficiency and sustainability. Challenges include waste management; emerging animal diseases; rising feed and energy cost; labour shortage, and societal/ consumer acceptance.
ISAEW provides a venue to bring together researchers, industrial leaders, and policy makers to address the challenges through sharing information, knowledge, and ideas. The symposia have provided a convergence platform for multi-disciplinary researchers from various parts of the world to identify the current challenges and future research directions; exchange the latest research findings; inspire the next-generation scientists and leaders; and promote on-farm adoption of technologies. The characteristics of the symposia in terms of global relevancy of the subject matters addressed, innovative and cutting-edge nature of research, quality of the presentations and publications, and unparalleled hospitality of the hosts have established the symposium one of the must-attend academic symposia that address the environment and animal welfare issues in livestock farming, both nationally and internationally. The symposia have proven to be impactful in terms of advancing scientific knowledge, developing technologies applicable for adoption by farmers worldwide, training future researchers and leaders, and providing a roadmap for future research and development that will be critical to sustainably feed the world for generations to come.
ISAEW is a biennial event organized by the International Research Center for Animal Environment and Welfare, which is headquartered in Chongqing Academy of Animal Sciences (CAAS) in Rongchang, Chongqing, China, and consists of 30 institutional members representing 12 countries, including China, the United States of America, Canada, the Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, Italy, Croatia, Germany, Australia, Brazil, and South Korea. In the past 14 years, the symposia have attracted thousands of academic scientists, graduate students, industry leaders and professionals, and government officials from more than 20 countries in six continents.
We look forward to your participation in 2025!
