Animal Identification Sub-Committee (AI SC)		In the last 6 months, the AI SC has been engaged in Updating of the Section 10 of the ICAR Guidelines. In the last meeting of the Board on 20 and 21 October the Board endorsed them and presently the Section 10 has been circulated to the ICAR Members for collecting any comments or the approval Procedure 6 of the ICAR Guidelines has been produced in its final version and in the next weeks it will be circulated among Members to get their approval The new document on the Tag Loss Rate Calculation has been completed and it assures a step forward in the Calculation process on the percentage of the tag loss For the following months, the AI SC is committed to commence the Procedure 7 (Tissue sampling tag) and the Procedure 8 (Smart devices). For getting a complete vision on the Tissue sampling tag, the AI SC believes that a tight collaboration with the DNA WG has to be reinforced
Milk Analysis Sub-Committee (MA SC)		In the last months the MA SC activity has been focussed in: Finalising the review of the Section 12 of the ICAR Guidelines (Protocol for the Evaluation of Milk Analysers for ICAR Certification according to ISO 8196-3/IDF 128-3 ) Reviewing the received applications for the ICAR certification of milk analyses Reporting the work accomplished into the ExtraMIR FA WP1 group Reviewing the ICAR proficiency test service for milk laboratories Launching a new ICAR proficiency test for Fatty acids (GC+IR) Communicating the involvement of countries' experts, welcoming young generation members, colleagues that wish joining our meetings as observers (2 new members) The MA SC regularly meet every 6-8 weeks and also participated in the various meetings on the ExtraMIR Fatty Acids . For the next months, the MA SC will : suggest the open application for ICAR evaluation to other devices that can be used for different purposes than milk recording e.g. farm management (broader scope). plan the ICAR conference in Anand, India 2025, including the ExtraMIR workshop and the Milk Analysis technical session. fix the progress towards the completion of ExtraMIR project for the 4 WP groups. evaluate the ICAR proficiency test performances. For the months to come, the MA SC will explore what are the tools needed for farm management that MASC can support in its development by adopting the milk analysis in the laboratories
Artificial Insemination and related Technologies (AI & RT WG)		On December 4th, the Artificial Insemination & RT WG is organising a webinar in occasion of the launch of the service on the Bull Semen Proficiency Test. The same webinar will be organised with two different timing. The recorded video is available here:
Meetings		In the last months, the AI&RT WG participated in the following meetings: NAAB Technical Conference, held on 16-18 September 2024, in Madison, USA) AI VETS meeting that was organised on 16-17 October 2024, in Bonn, Germany
Last achieved results		The activities achieved in the last months include: The launch of the Bull Semen Proficiency Test that created lots of positive response and additional discussions. Positive resulted have been achieved in first registrations, having reached more than 25 participating laboratories. Positive  discussions with worldwide groups (NAAB, AI VETS) on Straw ID standardization has been achieved
Programmes for the next months		In the next months the activities of the AI & RT will focus on: Completing the first Bull Semen Proficiency Test (webinar December 4th, followed by actual production and distribution of the straws, participants to perform the test, statistics by ICAR) Following the first round of the BS PT, the WG will discuss the outcomes Standardization of the Straw ID. It is clear what status is, but worldwide not everyone is in the same position on how to move forward. Therefore a new step will initiate, e.g. by starting from Europe
Requested actions from the Board		The proficiency test is just the beginning: it should lead to meaningful follow-up discussions on how to utilize the results, which will naturally reinvigorate the working group.
Feed and Gas (F&G WG)		In the last few months, the attention of the F&G WG has been focussed on: Transfer of the Guidelines from doc format to wiki Working on updating the Guidelines for methane and feed intake Interaction with Global Methane Genetics – data base development, SOP development Development of BWYPE topics (Feed & Gas is involved in 4 submissions: Feed intake SOP, MIR together with ExtraMIR, Tech comparison of methane measurements, global data collection and international genetic evaluation of methane in sheep)
Next objectives		For the next months, the F&G WG is committed in organising: Some webinars in collaboration with the Global Methane Genetics Group The improvements of Guidelines of the  BWYPE The improvement of the Guideline for feed intake and methane
Functional Traits (FT WG)		In the last months the FT WG had regular meetings with the manufacturers within the ICAR-IDF Initiative on sensors, related to functional traits and an internal meeting of the members of the FT WG is planned for December 2024. This initiative will be soon presented at the EAAP, ECPLF, ISRP meetings A manuscript on Improving animal health and welfare by using sensor data in herd management and dairy cattle breeding has been finalised presenting the joint initiative of ICAR and IDF (ECPLF, ICAR) The FT WG is also focussed on using the case genetics and sharing the sensor data as well as on the definition of rumination A further point of attention is the Body Conditions Scoring with a first proposal for recommendations for recording and use for herd management, genetic improvement and welfare assessment
Next priorities		The FT WG is committed in following with the ICAR-IDF initiative on sensors related applied to functional traits by Finalizing the use of case for genetics and for data sharing (sensor data) Finalizing definitions and reference of standards rumination and the finalizing of the BCS Guidelines
