35th ROME International Conference on Animal, Fisheries and Veterinary Sciences: RAFVS-26

Call for papers/Topics

Topics of Interest for Submission include, but are Not Limited to:

1. Animal Sciences (Production and Biology)

This sector focuses primarily on the biology and management of livestock and companion animals.

• Animal Genetics and Breeding: Molecular genetics, population genetics, and selective breeding programs for improved traits.

• Animal Nutrition: Nutrient metabolism, feed formulation, forage science, and growth physiology.

• Livestock Production Systems: Management of dairy, beef, poultry, swine, and small ruminants.

• Animal Physiology: Endocrine systems, reproductive physiology, and thermoregulation.

• Ethology and Welfare: Study of animal behavior, stress indicators, and ethical husbandry standards.

2. Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences

This branch deals with the cultivation and harvesting of aquatic organisms and the health of their environments.

• Aquaculture Technology: Intensive and extensive farming of fish, crustaceans, and mollusks.

• Fisheries Management: Stock assessment, population dynamics, and sustainable harvesting quotas.

• Aquatic Ecology: Limnology (freshwater), oceanography, and the impact of climate change on aquatic habitats.

• Fish Nutrition and Physiology: Specialized dietary needs of aquatic species and osmoregulation.

• Post-Harvest Technology: Processing, preservation, and quality control of seafood products.

3. Veterinary Sciences (Medicine and Surgery)

This is the clinical and diagnostic arm, focusing on the health and disease prevention of all animal species.

• Veterinary Anatomy and Histology: The structural study of animal bodies at macro and microscopic levels.

• Pathology and Microbiology: Study of disease mechanisms, bacteriology, virology, and mycology.

• Pharmacology and Toxicology: Drug action, therapeutic protocols, and the impact of environmental toxins.

• Surgery and Radiology: Clinical techniques, diagnostic imaging (X-ray, Ultrasound), and anesthesiology.

• Preventive Medicine: Immunology, vaccination strategies, and biosecurity protocols.

4. Interrelated and Transdisciplinary Topics

These areas link the three main branches together, often involving public health and environmental science.

• One Health: The study of the interconnectedness between animal health, human health, and the environment.

• Zoonotic Diseases: Research into infections that spread from animals to humans (e.g., Rabies, Avian Influenza).

• Epidemiology: Tracking the patterns and causes of health and disease in animal populations.

• Animal Biotechnology: Genetic engineering, cloning, and the development of recombinant vaccines.

• Environmental Impact and Waste Management: Strategies for handling animal waste and reducing the carbon footprint of livestock and fisheries.

• Food Safety and Public Health: Ensuring that animal and fish products are free from pathogens and chemical residues for human consumption.

• Regulatory Affairs and Policy: International trade laws, animal rights legislation, and conservation policies.
