ANA CONFERENCE 2012

It is with great pleasure the Animal Nutrition Association (ANA) invites you to its 8th Biennial Conference on the theme Animal Nutrition Research Strategies for Food Security. Globally, livestock are becoming the most important sub-sector of agriculture with the demand in developing countries for animal foods projected to double over the next few years. The forecasted scenario is because of the emergent recognition of the potential contribution of animal origin foods for food and nutritional security of the growing population across the globe. This provides a major opportunity for livestock farmers and entrepreneurs to derive greater returns. On the flipside, it also accentuates the concerns over related issues stretching from paramount role of nutritional inputs vis-a-vis productivity augmentation to emerging apprehensions about decline in environmental quality and food safety. Hence it has become imperative to reorient and prioritize the animal nutrition research in order to adapt the same to the burgeoning demands of food security in light of heightened concern for sustainable resource utilization.
Being hosted by Rajasthan University of Veterinary & Animal Sciences at Bikaner, the conference, besides its academic flavour and scientific fervor, is expected to be a cherished experience for the delegates who can
utilize the occasion to get a taste of the serene beauty and sublime culture of Rajasthan.
