- Heritability of disease;
- Reproduction control, especially advances in our understanding of the use of alternative methods of reproduction control for animals;
- Reproductive disease;
- Epidemiology of disease;
- Management of disease in large populations of animals;
- Reproductive performance: maximising reproductive potential, animal health and survival;
- Fertility;
- Advances in diagnostics and treatment;

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
