The Workshop on “Biology of Lactation in Farm Animals” (BOLFA) is jointly organized by the University of Bern, European Federation of Animal Science (EAAP) and the American Society of Animal Science (ASAS). In 2024 BOLFA will be held together with the International Congress on Farm Animal Endocrinology (ICFAE) at the University of Bern, Switzerland, as satellites of the annual EAAP meeting in Florence, Italy. The meetings in Bern take place from August 28-30, 2024. Current topics of lactation and endocrine systems in farm animal species will be discussed during the 3-day conference. The EAAP meeting in Florence starts on September 1. A convenient 5-h train connection is available for participants at BOLFA/ICFAE to reach Florence before the start of the EAAP meeting.
