9th International Conference on Goats

Picture
 In 2004, eight countries competed to host the 9th International Conference on Goats.  It was a difficult decision, but the Board of Directors selected Mexico to host the Conference.  We have the following to report:
  • Record number of papers submitted (more than 450) from all over the world.
  • Both the Federal Government of Mexico and Provincial Government of Queretaro provided financial support for the Conference.
  • Twelve Mexican Universities including UNAM, University of Nuevo Leon, University of Yucatan and University of Queretaro participated in organizing this Conference.
  • The Conference addressed urgent and relevant issues such as sustainable goat production; food safety, production and product quality assurance; future of organic goat products; recent advancement in biotechnology in goats; branding and marketing of goat products; goat production and environment conservation; and social development and contribution of women to goat production.
  • Proceedings were available for participants at the Conference.
  • A special issue,including all plenary and sectional invited papers, was published through Small Ruminant Research.

The main goal of the 9th International Conference is to disseminate the knowledge of cutting-edge technology and science for the benefit of sustainable goat production. For this purpose, people dedicated to the field of academy, research and production activities will gather to share experiences and to study ways of improving the goat production industry. The outcome of this exchange will surely impact the goat industry for the benefit of humankind.
