The British Society of Animal Science (BSAS), established in 1944, is a charity which is dedicated to supporting animal science in the UK and Ireland. The Society’s core focus is livestock science; communicating, influencing and engaging interest in how sustainable livestock production systems can contribute to positive socio-economic and ecosystem outcomes. BSAS aims to stimulate interest and discussion with focus on addressing climate change and wider ecosystem challenges related to livestock production by providing a platform for the dissemination of current and state-of-the-art research-based knowledge to all stakeholders within the agri-food sector and broader society. The Society encourages and supports the development of early career professionals in the field of animal science and associated areas helping them to develop, throughout their careers, into tomorrow’s leaders. BSAS is keen to work with individuals and organisations that are committed to the advancement of sustainable livestock and healthy and nutritious food production including the wider veterinary and agri-food and consumer-oriented sectors.
