Goals / Objectives
The World Congress on Genetics APplied to Livestock Production (WCGALP) is the preeminent meeting wherein applications of genetic technologies are brought to light on an international stage. Many scientists from around the world use the forum to put forth their very best work. The 2014 WCGALP will provide many opportunities for ARS scientists to present their work to an international audience of peers. It will also provide countless opportunities for ARS scientists to network with peers nurturing existing collaborations and forming new partnerships.

Project Methods
Support for the American Society Animal Science Conference, "10th World Congress on Genetics Applied to Livestock Production" to be held August 17-22, 2014, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
