Milk and Dairy Products in Health and Disease
Monday, 19 December 2011
School of Agriculture, Policy and Development, University of Reading
Dairy products are key source of nutrients in the diet but there is considerable uncertainty about whether these foods are detrimental or beneficial to health. This important symposium, sponsored by research projects at the University of Reading funded by BBSRC/DRINC/industry partners and in collaboration with BSAS, will provide up to date evidence on the role dairy foods and milk proteins can play in health maintenance and vascular disease prevention.

The Impact of Nutrition on the Health and Welfare of Horses
20-22 September 2010
Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, UK
The impact of nutrition on the health and welfare of the horse, whether performing at the highest athletic level or for leisure use, cannot be underestimated. To maintain good health and optimum performance the horse requires much more than just the correct levels of nutrients. In addition to avoiding an excess or a deficiency of nutrients the 'packaging' and form in which the horse ingests these nutrients plays an important role both for the horse's body and mind. Incorrect nutrition contributes to occurrence of colic, obesity, metabolic syndrome, laminitis, rhabdomyolysis and stereotypic, abnormal or unwanted behaviours. The publication from this conference explores the impact of nutrition on health and welfare in horses. The chapters provide an up to date review and evaluation of our current understanding in the areas below.
? Nutritional requirements and physiology
? Nutrition, behaviour and welfare
? Promoting health and preventing disease
? Gastrointestinal health
? Metabolic disease
? Functional nutritional ingredients
? Nutrition and performance

Food, Feed, Energy and Fibre from Land - a vision for 2020
An International Conference to address future challenges for land use
Queen's University, Belfast, Northern Ireland 12-14 April 2010
World food demand is predicted to double from present levels by 2050, driven by a projected 40% increase in population growth and changes in eating patterns. This will undoubtedly lead to greater demand for livestock products. However, our ability to increase food production is constrained by a number of factors, including competing demands for land use for energy production and recreational use, together with the impact of climate change on land availability and productivity. This conference will bring together a range of international research scientists to discuss future priorities for agricultural research and development and, in particular, to examine factors influencing the efficiency of food and energy production.

The now well-documented decline in dairy cow fertility has prompted new research into diverse aspects of dairy cow reproduction. It has also prompted the development of new technology and applications in the field. The purpose of this conference was to provide an update on these activities and provide a forum for bridging the gaps between the different disciplines involved and between researchers, practitioners and the industry.
The conference included sessions dealing with the following topics:
Factors pre-disposing reproductive disorders; Towards better idicies of repoductive abilities; Impact of new on-farm technologies on reproductive management
Led by keynote speakers recognised as international experts in their field the conference shed light on questions such as: Why has the frequency of reproductive abnormalities increased? How can we better distinguish poor management from poor genetics for reproductive traits? How will sexed semen and on-farm progesterone measurements affect reproductive managment? A Proceedings of the meeting is expected to be published by the end of 2007. For further information please contact bsas@sac.ac.uk or mdroyal@liverpool.ac.uk

Linking up the meat chain: ensuring quality and safety for the consumer
19-20 October 2006, Krakow, Poland
Over 150 delegates enjoyed a vibrant and well organised conference. Keynote speakers gave presentations over two days on aspects of production and quality, genetics and meat quality, and food safety and human health. Speakers included Nigel Scollan, Tim Parr, Paul Warriss and Jonathan Guy - all from BSAS UK, Martin Scheeder from the Swiss Research Institute and Mike Ellis from the University of Illinois, USA. Dorata Wojtysiak and Marek Pieszka presented Polish research projects. Vigilijus Jukna from Lithuania, Dirk Halet from Belgium and Branislaw Zivkovic from Serbia also gave presentations.
A major part of the first day included the presentation of 80 posters from scientists throughout Eastern Europe. Peter Buttery, BSAS President, represented the Society and extended his appreciation to Professor Waldyslaw Migdal and Piotr Pasciak who organised the event so well.
During the Conference delegates came together for a formal dinner in the beautiful Royal Castle in the old part of historic Krakow.
This very successful meeting was the second BSAS meeting in Krakow on Meat science. The next in the series will be held in Lithuania in June 2007 - watch the BSAS website for details.
These conferences are part of the BSAS' strategy to work with partner scientists in Eastern Europe to exchange information on topical aspects of animal science. This approach is forging closer collaboration between UK and Polish scientists, as well as an increase in BSAS members from that part of Europe.
Summaries of all the papers presented will shortly be available to members free of charge on the BSAS website.

The beautiful and friendly campus at Writtle, Essex hosted the BSAS specialist conference on Ethnoveterinary - Harvesting knowledge, Pharming Opportunities in mid-September. The width of papers presented was stunning material. Delegates appreciated that the topic has wide implications especially in developing countries. A satellite workshop also brought in a team of world experts from the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Authority) in Vienna, who contributed papers to the main conference.
Student day - featuring workshop and industry forum
13 September 2006 - Writtle College, Chelmsford UK
The student day at Writtle was a great success, even the sun came out to greet us. It was well attended with 27 students enjoying a diverse range of topics. The first part of the day was dedicated to core requirements such as Viva, writing and presentation skills. The subsequent industry forum gave students a chance to meet with and find out requirements of future employers including WALTHAM, Farmers weekly, and EBLEX. Professor Jamie Newbold from Aberystwyth gave real insight into the requirements for an academic career whilst David Garwes talked about the types of research which might attract future funding. After a long hard day it was time for everyone to let their hair down. The evening's entertainment started with a rounders match at dusk on the front lawn of the college. A barbecue, balloon antics, and a fiercely competitive pub quiz followed ensuring a rewarding day ended, as it should, with a very lively social night.

Applying Equine Science, Research into Business
20-21 September, 2005 Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, UK
Applying Equine Science: Research into Business was the second BSAS conference in its Equine series and followed the highly successful ?Emerging Equine Science' run in September 2003. The 2005 format was similar with world experts explaining the role of science in areas vital to equine practitioners. This time the emphasis was on business and was of particular relevance to all involved in running commercial equine operations whether they be racing, eventing, trekking or polo. The papers presented covered the major aspects of keeping horses and was also important for anyone wishing to understand how science could help them look after their horses in a more cost effective way.
The first day concentrated on business matters with an exciting and innovative afternoon of visits to practical horse enterprises and husbandry facilities. It included a polo match with commentary and insights into organising and managing the equine side of such an event.
The second day brought scientists in to talk about nutrition, behaviour, physiology as well as practitioners involved in alternative therapies.
Summaries of the meeting are available from the BSAS office at a cost of ?10.00 per copy. A Proceedings of the conference will be published by Nottingham University Press in early 2006.

Programme and papers from the meeting.
The Science of Beef Quality
18- 19 May, 2005. Eighth Langford Food Industry Conference, University of Bristol.
A really interactive 1? days at a very good time for producers, processors, retailers and scientists. This conference brought speakers from Poland, France, the USA, and the UK to address and challenge the 100+ delegates.
This new format of 1? days with presentations, a dinner, debate and practical food tasting sessions worked well, and is likely to be repeated next year with sheep as the possible topic.
Throughout the conference there was an emphasis on explaining quality from a consumer view point. The picture painted by those looking at the future was more optimistic than depressing. Demand for beef in the UK and Europe is good and the opportunities to get a good return from quality products is high, despite the potential competition from countries like Brazil. However, getting better returns back to producers remains a challenge and the need for the whole production and processing chain is vital.
Our congratulations to the Langford team of Jeff Wood, Rita Hinton and colleagues on organising an excellent conference. Programme Proceedings
