面對全球人口持續成長、環境挑戰日益嚴峻之際，動物科學於確保糧食安全、提升農業生產力以及降低環境衝擊尚，扮演著至關重要之角色。 聯合國在2015年發佈了《2030年永續發展議程》，提出17項 永續發展目標（Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs）， 以推動包容性且永續之經濟成長，以及自然資源之合理使用，這些目標強調環境保護、社會福祉與經濟發展之間的平衡。
為了因應全球不斷演變之需求，動物科學必須在 動物福利、遺傳改進、永續農業、營養以及疾病控制 等領域提供創新之解決方案，而這些領域的進展亦是農業未來永續發展的關鍵。 這場國際研討會的舉辦旨在 加強學術界、政府及產業間的合作， 不僅具有重要之學術價值，亦具有實際應用之意義， 期望在動物科學領域 促進全球合作， 以實現永續發展之核心目標。
As the global population grows and environmental challenges intensify, animal science plays a vital role in ensuring food security, improving agricultural productivity, and reducing environmental impact. In 2015, the United Nations launched the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, outlining 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to promote inclusive, sustainable economic growth and responsible use of natural resources. These goals emphasize a balance between environmental protection, social well-being, and economic development.
To meet evolving global needs, animal science must offer innovative solutions in areas such as animal welfare, genetic improvement, sustainable farming, nutrition, and disease control. Advances in these fields are key to the future sustainability of agriculture. This International Symposium is initiated to strengthen cooperation among academia, government, and industry. It holds significant academic value and practical importance, aiming to enhance and advance global cooperation in the field of animal science in pursuit of achieving the core goals of sustainable development.
