Join us in Niagara Falls
Come and join the world’s elite in the animal
production recording industry as we gather in
Niagara Falls, New York, United States, for ICAR’s
36th Session, 16-20 June. Whether it’s measuring
milk, functional traits, meat or fiber, interact with and
learn from the best in the world. Industry leaders will
come together to discuss scientific research and
data, and share practical applications developed
from this information. The Manufacturers’ Showcase
provides a phenomenal format for presenting and
discovering new technologies in the world of animal
recording, identification and information management. Step outside your comfort
zone and learn about new developments in other species’ organizations. ICAR looks
at and addresses many different livestock species, paying particular close attention to
economically important traits. In addition to the on-site presentations, take advantage of
the tours. See modern farming practices and learn about herd management technologies
and applications used in the United States.
Niagara Falls and western New York provide great geography, supported by a great
agricultural landscape. Capitalize on this great opportunity to learn, discover, share
and enjoy the wonderful weather and picturesque scenery of Niagara Falls and the
surrounding area.
The post-conference agricultural tour provides another outstanding opportunity to build
your knowledge about U.S. farming practices, technology applications and management
methods. Pennsylvania offers plenty of diversity among its dairy producers – from Amish
using more basic technologies to freestall/milking parlor dairy operations to a large dairy
using several robotic milkers. Wrap up your visit by touring the U.S. capital – Washington,
D.C.
For those interested in seeing the United States’ largest city, join us on the New York City
tour. Experience many of the city’s world-famous landmarks, including Times Square,
Madison Square Garden, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Central Park, Fifth Avenue and
the Rockefeller Center.
