International Symposium on Welfare and Health of Farm Animals

August 17, 2022 (Beijing time)

Yangzhou, China

          At present, China is the largest country in terms of animal number and animal product consumption, but the per capita consumption of livestock products is still lower than that in European and American countries. Therefore, there is a need to improve the productivity of livestock farming in China. To make the best use of limited resources, intensive production is the main way to enhance the production scale and efficiency. However, under the conditions of intensive production, livestock will be exposed to high living density, poor living environment, heat stress, disease and other a series of challenges. It will cause psychological and physiological stress to animals that are fed in intensive production system, resulting in decline in health status and their production.

   To help to solve the issues mentioned above, research teams from the Yangzhou University, the Jiangsu Qianbao Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd., the International Joint Laboratory for Ruminant Production, and the State Key Laboratory of Sheep Genetic Improvement and Healthy Breeding have worked together and proposed a list of research projects including animal breeding and nutrition, and the application of intelligent control technology, to improv health and welfare of animals that are fed in intensive production system. To share these findings and promote the academic communication and cooperation, we organized this international symposium for welfare and health of farm animals. This symposium invites academic researchers and industrial people who work with cattle, sheep, poultry and pigs to present their research findings, and opinions and suggestions on the development of intensive production system. This workshop will be held online through VOOV with an agenda listed below.

In particular, he has done a lot of pioneering work in the identification and mechanism of genetic molecular markers of bovine immune diseases, such as mastitis and paraptb. It has received more than 30 scientific research projects from the National Natural and Environmental Science Foundation of Canada, Agri-Food Ministry of Canada, Canadian Dairy Association, Canadian Mastitis Association, American Otchi Feed Co., LTD and other government departments and companies, with a total scientific research funding of nearly 10 million Canadian dollars. He has published more than 100 scientific Research papers in internationally renowned journals such as BMC Genomics, BMC Veterinary Research, Journal of Dairy Science and Animal Genetics, with a cumulative impact factor of more than 400. He has participated in the compilation and publication of 4 monographs and 16 representative papers since 2011 (11 papers in JCR District 1 and 2 papers in JCR District 2), with a cumulative influence factor of 45.705 and a cumulative citation frequency of 149. The highest citation frequency of a single paper is 32, with an average citation frequency of 9.31. It enjoys a high reputation in the field of molecular genetic mechanism of dairy cow mastitis resistance.

4.2

He has developed cutting edge research programs across a range of species including sheep, pigs, poultry, cattle, goats, rodents, horses and humans. Professor Tilbrook places a huge emphasis on collaboration, training and professional development. He has published over 180 research papers and his h-index is 40.

4.4

     

Dominique Blache

Professor

The University of

Western Australia

       Professor Dominique Blache’s work on emotional reactivity in sheep was at first criticised in Australia. Then about 8 years after this work, multiple groups developed research programs on emotional reactivity and personality in farm animals. The combination of his expertise in emotional reactivity and metabolism has led Prof Maloney and himself to demonstrate that nervousness has an impact on energy utilisation and temperature regulation.

Recently, his work with Prof Maloney started, supported by an ARC DP grant, on selective brain cooling and thermoregulation, including evaporative cooling, has led to the publication of more than half a dozen papers. His work has described the circadian rhythm of body temperature and demonstrated that these rhythms are affected by nutritional stress. Following other work done by Prof Maloney, they have proposed the use of temperature rhythms to assess the level of stress experienced by animals. This line of thought is now accepted in the field of both stress and thermoregulation.

Professor Dominique Blache has published over 200 papers and 20 books and has an h-index of 44. He has been granted a total of 14 million research fund. He has successfully supervised 24 PhD students, 7 masters and around 40 undergraduate projects.

4.5

   

Shane Maloney Professor The University of Western Australia

Professor Shane Maloney's principal research area is thermal physiology, focusing on the regulation of brain temperature and the consequences of strategies used by humans and animals to maintain thermal homeostasis. Since completing his honours and PhD in Zoology on kidney function and thermal physiology in the emu. Professor Maloney’s research has evolved, driven by climate change and the need to know more about how animals and humans respond to warmer climates. He strives to increase the fundamental knowledge of thermal physiology and biophysics. Professor Maloney has a keen interest in human physiology and his current research investigates adaptations to heat and cold, and the impacts of circadian (daily) and ultradian (two to three hourly) changes in body temperature on health and performance. Professor Maloney’s work is highly regarded. He has been granted over 10 million research funds and published 176 research papers and 11 books. His h-index is 41.
