Importance & Scope:

Animal Science is a diverse and fascinating amalgamation of applied and basic life sciences, fundamentally focused on enhancing the efficiency, profitability and sustainability of the domestic animal industries. The scope of this international conference is broad, covering all aspects of both domesticated and wild, animal species. It directs the health and nutritional needs of domestic animals, wildlife and zoo animals, birds etc. It has made many contributions to animal and human ecology.  We aspire that this scientific conference helps to converge private industry in areas such as marketing of animal-health commodities, monitoring of animal health in large scale animal-production programs, and biomedical research. Various other branches such as dairy farming are also included under animal science that encompasses breeding, raising and utilization of dairy animals, most commonly cows, for the production of milk and the various dairy foods processed from it. We aim that this conference along with other OMICS Group events help us achieve our goal "It is an arena where research pupates, relationships are nurtured, productivity of research is directed close to goal, perspectives are recognized, hard work is acknowledged and last but not the least Science is venerated".
