Hanoi to host AAAP 2026 animal science congress in October
Around 1 400 delegates including 600 international participants from 42 countries and territories are set to gather in Hanoi for a major animal science congress
Hanoi will host the 21st Asian-Australasian Animal Science Congress (AAAP 2026) in late October, attracting over 600 international delegates. Organized by the Animal Husbandry Association of Vietnam (AHAV), the congress will take place at the National Convention Centre from October 28-31 under the theme "Sustainable Animal Production."
This major international scientific forum aims to foster knowledge exchange, showcase new research and technologies, and promote collaboration for efficient, safe, resilient, and sustainable livestock production. With over 994 scientific papers submitted, the congress features an interdisciplinary scientific program with 14 major thematic groups covering topics from animal genetics to animal welfare, digital governance, and smart farming.
The conference comes as Vietnam faces demands for improvement in livestock industry productivity, efficiency, and adaptability amid climate change, emerging diseases, and market competition. Vietnam's livestock industry has seen significant growth, with the country's pig herd ranking sixth globally, poultry flock second, and various sectors like animal feed and dairy processing leading in ASEAN.
