Falls provides a magnificent setting for business and pleasure.
This is the first time in ICAR’s 70 plus years of operation
that the USA has played host to a biennial session of ICAR.
ICAR looks at and addresses
many different livestock species and economically important areas
of production and genetics. With members
in 47 countries, ICAR’s aim is to promote the development and
improvement of activities related to performance recording and the
evaluation of farm livestock. Task forces, working groups and subcommittees – ranging
from animal identification to recording devices to milk analysis to
artificial insemination to animal recording data to genetic analysis – drive
much of ICAR’s work.
Interbull is an ICAR subcommittee that is responsible for promoting
the development and execution of international genetic evaluations
for most of the economically important traits in dairy cattle, but
a group has been formed to work on beef genetic evaluations also.
Interbull efforts in genetic evaluations is through coordinating international
communication and research efforts and providing multiple country
dairy cattle evaluations to more than 25 countries.
