Symposia Details

SERA 41 Symposium: Challenges to the adoption rate of research-proven practices in Southeastern cow-calf herds
Bill E. Kunkle Symposium: Emerging technologies in beef cattle production
The Bill E. Kunkle Interdisciplinary Beef Symposium has been held annually at the Southern Sectional meeting of the American Society of Animal Science since 2014. The symposium was named to honor Dr. Kunkle’s commitment to the beef industry in the Southeast. The 2023 Kunkle Symposium will address emerging technologies in beef cattle production. Topics will include Integrating molecular features for predicting reproductive outcomes in Bos taurus heifers presented by Dr. Paul Dyce, Auburn University. Other topics include use of Crispr technology in beef production, use of secondary metabolites in feed and effects on the rumen microbiome, and use of precision agriculture technologies in cow-calf production.
Advancing Swine Research in the Southern Section
With this year’s annual meeting taking place in Raleigh, we plan to capitalize on North Carolina being the nation’s third largest pork producing state by recognizing the swine research by scientists within the Southern Section.
Biotechnological Advancements in Data Collection
This symposium will emphasize the interactions between livestock species and environmental factors, and how the use of precision agriculture can enhance our understanding of animal efficiency.
