Past Conferences

Conferences and Workshops

Starting with 1997, the ANA organizes national and international level conferences biennially in tandem with the objectives of the association i.e. to foster fraternity among the professionals, to share and exchange views on the issue related to the feeding and nutrition of livestock, and more importantly, to sketch and put together strategies for the improvement in animal nutrition research and education in the country. It has thus far successfully organized eleven biennial conferences, one international conference, and five national workshops to provide opportunities to exchange knowledge and to present the latest advances in animal nutrition and feeding strategies with various cross scientific disciplines.
