With the sponsorship of the Agricultural Biotechnology Research Center (ABRC), Academia Sinica and the Ministry of Science and Technology Research Promotion Center of Life Sciences (MSTRPC), we are pleased to invite you to the 2025 AI & Animal Health Forum, which will be held on June 11 (afternoon, Chinese sessions) and June 12 (morning, English sessions) at the ICC Tainan, Taiwan.

Taiwan plays a key role in supplying essential protein and nutrition to its population through livestock products. The future of livestock and aquaculture is increasingly focused on food safety (eliminating chemical antibiotics) and environmental sustainability. Given Taiwan's strong ICT talent and advanced research in medicinal plants, integrating AI and phytogenic feed additives into farming systems is crucial to aligning with global standards.

This forum will explore AI-driven strategies and antibiotic alternatives, bringing together leading industry experts and academic researchers from Taiwan and across the Asia-Pacific region. Our distinguished speakers will share insights into antibiotic-free livestock farming, aquaculture disease prevention, and innovative biotechnologies.

Forum Highlights

📌 Applications of AI, IoT, and smart technologies in animal health and farm management.
📌 Development of phytogenic feed additives and probiotics as antibiotic alternatives.
📌 Enhancing growth, reproductive efficiency, and disease prevention through AI-driven precision nutrition.
📌 Advancing intestinal health, antimicrobial resistance solutions, and sustainable farming.

The ultimate goal of this forum is to enhance food security, animal health, and sustainable antibiotic-free farming, in alignment with the One Health initiative. We also aim to evaluate global and domestic advancements in AI and antibiotic alternatives, fostering collaboration between industry and academia.

By integrating cutting-edge technology and innovation, we strive to support Taiwan's livestock and aquaculture industries, drive smart agriculture development, and strengthen the animal health sector, ensuring higher profitability for farmers and high-quality products for consumers.

We look forward to welcoming researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers to join this forum for innovative discussions and knowledge-sharing opportunities.
