Dear Deer Friends!
We cordially invite you to the
10th International Deer Biology Congress
(IDBC) that will be held
from
September 4-9, 2022, at the
Faculty of Agrobiotechnical Sciences, Osijek, Croatia.
Our main is to gather professionals
interested in deer biology, disease,
conservation
and management in wild and
farmed
conditions. IDBC offers possibilities to discuss
common problems, share knowledge or
experiences whilst reviving old and
creating new networks. Some of
the major topics will include; general deer biology and ecology, diseases, evolution, genetics, management, in-situ and ex-situ conservation, antler
biology, and antler and venison
production. The
COVID-19 pandemic has caused many
restrictions, resulting in an online
type of function. Let’s hope that 10th IDBC will be held in normal person-to-person conditions, allowing direct exchange of knowledge and creation of new relationships, in order
to spark new endeavours in cervid research, conservation, management and production.
History
An initial conference on “Antler Development in Cervidae” was organized in 1982 in Kingsville (Texas) by Robert Brown. This event started the tradition of the subsequent International Deer Biology Congress series. A year later, the First International Deer Biology Congress was
held in Dunedin (New Zealand)
in
1983. After the First Congress,
it
took 7 years until Robert
Brown
organized the second one in Mississippi (USA), in 1990. This Congress marked the further establishment
of Congress, held every quadrennial. The third Congress was held in Edinburgh (UK) in 1994, Kaposvar (Hungary) in 1998, 5th in Quebec (Canada) in 2002, 6th in Prague (Czech Republic)
in 2006, 7th in Huilo
Huilo (Chile) in 2010, 8th
in Harbin (China) in 2014
and 9th in Colorado (USA)
in 2018. Each conference covered a wide range
of topics including deer biology, ecology, antler biology, conservation, evolution, genetics and deer health.
Topics

Deer Biology, Physiology and Nutrition Deer Management, Ecology and Production Deer Health and Diseases
