The 2017 South African Society for Animal Scientists (SASAS) 50th congress hosted by the Eastern Cape branch was a huge success. The Boardwalk Hotel was the perfect place to host the 50th golden celebration.
The 10th South African Society for Animal Science (SASAS) North student-industry day anniversary celebrations were held at the University of Pretoria (UP). At the same occasion the Animal and Wildlife Science/ Vee en Wildkunde in cooperation with the Center of Wildlife Management department was celebrating 100 years of producing excellent Animal Scientists. Thus, the day was filled with an atmosphere of reflections, encouragements and most of all celebrations of the many milestones overcome by both the department and the SASAS student-industry day.
The call for abstracts and invitations to honorable guests was sounded and Animal Science enthusiasts responded. Under the theme “Golden Innovations for Sustainable Animal Agriculture” we are sure to be challenged to think beyond the survival of our generation with the hope that post congress conversations will be centered on sustainable innovation.

The SASAS Merit award awarded by the president of the society, seeks to acknowledge “Brilliant young stars” who during their undergraduate studies at any South African university, rose against all odds and came out top of their class. This year a young man from the University of Fort Hare will be receiving this very award.
