General Information:    The theme of the conference, New World; Future World, takes in the philosophy of the World Association for Animal Production, conceptualising the place of animals in our daily existence. The theme focuses the following plenary sessions on constructing a future scenario for the various systems of animal production. • Livestock systems and land tenure • Investing in genetics • Livestock products and human nutrition • Physiological limits to production efficiency • Managing resources for sustainable livestock production, human dignity and social security • Intellectual capital for livestock production • Technological surges and livestock production: Scenarios for developed and developing economies • The power of consumerism • Molecules, production and quality: The role of production and product modifying substances • International aspects of livestock, livestock production and products: Are fences and boundaries an enigma? Presentations will be as invited plenary papers and as poster sessions with plenty of time for interactive discussions. Poster sessions have a number of advantages over oral short paper presentations by extending the ability to accommodate many scientific reports, allowing for more personalised interactions between delegates, optimising on space and time and giving delegates an equal opportunity to present their research. Each poster should have a short scientific communication that will be peer reviewed and if accepted, published in a supplement to a scientific journal. A symposium with the theme Adaptation for different environments will be held as part of the University of Pretoria’s 100th Anniversary Celebration. Animal Science has made many contributions to livestock production and celebrating these contributions would be an appropriate and significant event. The Animal Feed Manufacturers’ Association of South Africa (AFMA) and the World Poultry Association Branch of South Africa (WPSA) are linking their annual scientific meetings to the main event as satellite symposia. Their participation broadens the field and allows delegates to participate in the events of feed manufacturers and the poultry industry.
