Capacity building to implement good animal welfare practices
Animal welfare is coming to be recognized as highly relevant to success in international development. It is integral to programmes to improve animal health, to develop livestock production, to respond to natural disasters where animals are involved, and to improve the fit between the genetic constitution of animals and the environments in which they are kept. Aware of the above, FAO has decided to give more explicit and strategic attention to animal welfare and to guide its activities, it has convened an Expert Meeting to provide specific advice on ‘Capacity building to implement good animal welfare practices’. The strenuous and collaborative work of the experts, together with resource persons from the main relevant institution involved in animal welfare and FAO staff, resulted in this report.
A new Branch is formed in Cameroon. We welcome the 77th Branch of WPSA and look forward to working together.
Secretary of the Cameroon Branch is:

The development of poultry science in the second half of the 20th century is an extraordinary story and with the death of Professor Trevor Morris, poultry science says good bye to one of the outstanding champions of that period. Trevor’s contributions to science, to research, to teaching, to production practice and to the institutions of poultry science were quite exceptional and reflect the character and capacity of a very remarkable man. Professor Trevor Raymond Morris, PhD, DSc died on February 2nd 2009, aged 78, after a short but brave battle with colon cancer and its complications. WPSA has lost one of its great heroes.
