As a pivotal platform for academic exchanges in agricultural engineering and biology, the 2025 2nd International Symposium on Agricultural Engineering and Biology (ISAEB 2025) was successfully held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from September 26 to 28, 2025. Through well-designed topics, efficient organizational support, and in-depth participation of global scholars, this symposium facilitated high-quality academic dialogue and knowledge sharing. The proceedings of ISAEB 2025, as a distillation of the symposium's academic achievements, represents an invaluable academic compilation for the field.

As the sponsor of this symposium, the Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences at Sultan Qaboos University, Oman, defined a clear academic direction and pragmatic value positioning for the event. From initial planning and organization to on-site execution, the sponsor established a stable academic channel for scholars from Malaysia, Hong Kong, China, India, and other regions to share their latest research findings. Every segment of the symposium—from the opening ceremony, to the guidance-oriented insights of two keynote speeches, and then to the practical explorations of the invited presentations—was closely aligned with the core thread of "synergy among agricultural sustainability, application of biological innovation, and human health," fully reflecting the symposium's academic height and practical value.

Two keynote speeches laid a solid theoretical foundation for addressing global challenges in agricultural engineering and biology. Prof. Subha Bhassu (Universiti Malaya, Malaysia) delivered the first keynote speech, taking "aquatic animals as biological models" as the entry point. She interpreted agricultural security, environmental stability, and human health within the "One Health Framework", providing a novel theoretical perspective for cross-disciplinary collaboration in tackling global agricultural challenges. Following this, Assoc. Prof. Lee Lai Kuan (Universiti Sains Malaysia, Malaysia), anchored in "nutrition as complementary medicine", provided insights into the in-depth connection between agricultural production and human health by organizing scientific evidence and envisioning prospects.

Two invited presentations focused more on practical technical solutions: Eason Liao (MASSPHOTON LIMITED, Hong Kong, China) presented research on "Effect of Intermittent UV-C Irradiation on Fruit Preservation", providing a technical solution for addressing the challenge of post-harvest loss of agricultural products. Youli Jia (Tianjin University of Science and Technology, China) shared research on "Self-Made Eco-Friendly Enzymes from Substandard Pear Fruits in Orchards and Their Application in Fruit Tree Cultivation"—this research converted agricultural waste into green resources and put the concept of circular agriculture into practice. These four sessions—spanning from theory to technology and from macro to micro perspectives—gradually outlined the innovative landscape of current research in agricultural engineering and biology.

The proceedings of ISAEB 2025 serves as a testament to the symposium's role in promoting field development. It covers both theoretical breakthroughs in basic research and practical explorations of applied technologies, providing referable ideas and establishing sustainable links for cross-regional collaboration.

We sincerely thank the Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences at Sultan Qaboos University, Oman—its professional organization ensured the symposium's success. We also thank all speakers and participants; their sincere knowledge sharing and active interaction made ISAEB 2025 a significant catalyst for the development of agricultural engineering and biology.

We hope this proceedings serves as an essential intellectual reference for researchers in agricultural engineering and biology. Building on the achievements of ISAEB 2025, we look forward to more scholars deepening their research in this field, jointly advancing agricultural sustainability and the application of biological innovation to new heights.
