This year's theme, “Circular Economy in the Livestock Industry: Innovations for Improving Management and Resource Efficiency”, addresses the urgent need to enhance sustainability and resource efficiency in livestock production. As demands on resources increase, the circular economy presents a promising framework to minimize waste, optimize productivity, and support environmental resilience within the livestock sector. Through this theme, we aim to foster collaboration, share innovative solutions, and encourage practices that benefit both industry and the global community.

I am sincerely grateful to the Rector of Universitas Brawijaya, the Dean of the Faculty of Animal Science, and the dedicated ICIAS committee for making this event possible. To all our speakers, authors, and participants, thank you for contributing your insights and research, enriching this conference with vital perspectives.
