title: International Conference on Boar Semen Preservation (ICBSP): the first 25 years.
abstract: The International Conference on Boar Semen Preservation (ICBSP) has been in existence for 25 years. During that time, six conferences have been held in Europe and North America. Each conference has sought to communicate research advances in pig semen technology and artificial insemination (AI). Clearly, the conference has been a catalyst for the advancement of various improvements in semen preservation and AI. In addition, the conference has served to initiate collaboration among scientists worldwide. A summary of problems that remain to be investigated and solved in swine semen technology is provided.
