Get ready for ISVC 2028 in Brazil!

The 12th International Sheep Veterinary Congress (ISVC) will be held in Brazil in 2028, marking the event’s first edition in the Americas and representing an initiative of major scientific, technical, and institutional impact. The ISVC is hosted on a rotating basis in different countries, and choosing Brazil highlights sheep production systems characteristic of tropical and semi-arid regions, adding a distinctive perspective compared with previous editions. Holding ISVC 2028 in Brazil, particularly in the Northeast region, gives the event additional strategic relevance, as tropical and semi-arid production systems face challenges that foreshadow global trends related to climate change, increasing health pressures, and the need for sustainable animal production systems. Brazil is a true living laboratory for discussing and developing innovative, adaptive solutions in sheep health and production. Furthermore, the event will significantly expand access for researchers, professionals, and students from Latin America to one of the world’s leading forums dedicated to sheep veterinary medicine, directly contributing to the internationalization of Brazilian science and to stronger global networks of scientific and technological collaboration. ISVC 2028 is therefore designed not only as a forum for outstanding scientific advancement, but also as a strategic international platform for building consensus, strengthening institutions, and raising the global profile of Brazilian science in sheep health and production.
