History, Organisation and Activities

The first move to establish an international society for animal breeding was made during the Fourth International Congress of Animal Husbandry held at Zürich in 1939. The idea was revived in 1946 when the Swiss Society of Animal Husbandry again took up the matter, with the result that a meeting was held in Zürich in October 1947, attended by Mr. Alec Hobson and Mr. I. L. Mason representing the British Society of Animal Production. At this meeting it was agreed that an international organisation composed of private societies directly concerned with animal production was highly desirable and a preparatory committee was elected to prepare draft statutes. The United Kingdom was a member of this committee. The secretarial work was entrusted to the FAO Temporary Bureau in Europe, and was in fact mainly carried out by Dr. I. Moskovits of the Animal Production Branch.

BREEDING METHODS IN LIVESTOCK IMPROVEMENT

PROBABLY at no time during the past hundred years has there been so much current of changed attitudes and values sweeping through the minds of stockbreeders. While the general public may have noted the effects of the war-time food policies on milk production and on the sheep, pig and poultry populations, it is fair to suggest that only those who face the practical aspects of the British livestock industry recognize the multiplicity of problems that the war situation, added to the general trends, has left. The recent years have thrust many changes upon this branch of British agriculture-not the least of which may be those of thought regarding the aims, methods and responsibilities of the different sections of the industry. It may be significant, in one sense, that, throughout the whole of the meetings on February 26 and 27 of the British Society of Animal Production, the well-known and still hardy phrase 'the stud farm of the world' was not once used. There was no lack of opportunity, since breeding methods, techniques and aims were the main items under discussion.

The British Pig-Raising Industry

AS a part of farming which has had very low priority during the war years, pig production shows clearly some of the major problems confronting the British livestock industry. The scope and form of development must depend upon the broad framework of policy as laid down by the State; yet a policy as a whole is often difficult to break down into terms applicable to individual farms and herds. Throughout the discussions on pig production at the meeting on July 17 of the British Society of Animal Production, it was obvious that these considerations were well in the minds of all speakers, though the question of what will be the post-war politico-economic status of the pig industry was not directly raised.

Animal Production and Animal Behaviour

ON Tuesday, October 24, the British Society of Animal Production held a discussion on the British sheep industry; on the morning of October 25, a joint meeting with the Institute for the Study of Animal Behaviour was held to consider the grazing behaviour of sheep and cattle; the Institute, on the afternoon of October 25, discussed the food preferences of dairy cows and the importance of the study of behaviour from the veterinary aspect.
