Summary

Over the 30+ years since the first AAABG meeting there have been major advances in accompanying the sciences and technologies that support animal breeding and genetics huge increases in computing power, new statistical techniques, greater understanding of underlying biology, cloning, SIL, Breedplan, Lambplan and so on.
