Livestock conservation practice is changing rapidly in light of policy developments, climate change and diversifying market demands. Understanding this dynamic motivates this conference, which is focused on four themes:
1) redefining the role of genome data in livestock conservation and prioritisation
2) identifying improved and more integrative analysis methods for livestock genomic, environmental and socio-economic data
3) censusing genomic resources for minority livestock species and breeds – where are we and what do we need?
4) horizon-scanning for the twenty most important problems we need to overcome for effective livestock genomic resource conservation during the next decade.
