What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?The meeting provided the opportunity for all attendees to learn the most up-to-date information across a broad swath of ruminant nutrition. For student training, the meeting was attended by 62 graduate students and 17 post-doctoral students. Trainees received reduced registration and some graduate students were awarded funding to support travel. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?The meeting was attended in person by 247 people. The 129abstracts from the meeting areavailable online(https://www.adsa.org/Portals/0/SiteContent/Docs/Meetings/PastMeetings/ISRP2024_Abstracts.pdf). Invited speakers were asked to prepare a review article. To date, 9 review articles have been accepted through peer review and available through open access at the Journal of Dairy Science.

What was accomplished under these goals?
We successfully held the 2024 International Symposium on Ruminant Physiology (ISRP) in Chicago, IL fromAugust 26th to 29th. The conference was attended by 247 people, with domestic attendees from 31 states and international attendees from 29 countries. It was also attended by 62 graduate students and 17 post-doctoral scholars. The conference included 18 invited presentations that providedcutting-edge summariesof their topics. The conference covered ruminant physiology broadly. The sessions included: 1. Insights from precision technology and data science and their implications for ruminant physiology and management. 2. Gastrointestinal microbial ecology, the microbiome, and gut physiology spanning from microbial-host interactions to an update on methan production and mineral interactions. 3. Whole animal microbiome and integration of effects across systems, including the central nervous system, lactation, reproduction, respiration, and immunity. 4. Post-absorptive physiology impacts of nutrients on cellular signaling. 5. Inflammation, metabolic endocrinology, metabolomics, and novel regulators of physiology and metabolism. 6. Integration of environment, physiology, and well-being in the face of climate change and resource limitations. 7. Genomicand epigeneticimpacts on ruminant physiology and efficiency. The invited speakers were also askedto write a review article, and 9 review articles have been accepted and are available as open-access articlesin the Journal of Dairy Science. Additional review articlesare under review. The conference also included poster sessions for presentation of original research,with 129 abstracts submitted for the conference (https://www.adsa.org/Portals/0/SiteContent/Docs/Meetings/PastMeetings/ISRP2024_Abstracts.pdf). The poster sessions were well integrated into the conference and provided great interaction and discussion. The ISRP meeting is the premier ruminant physiology meeting in the world and is only held every 5 years. It rotates countries and had not been held in the USA in over 50 years. The meeting was successful in both the quality of the science content, the well organized program that stimulated interaction between attendees, and the considerable audience it drew from across the USA and nation. Overall, the planning committee thought we had exceeded our goals of hosting a cutting edge conference that both provided strong science but also provided important interaction between scientists and industry professionals working across different species and sub-discplines of ruminant physiology that do not routinely interact.
