News from the WPSA Board

Introduction from the President

Dear members of WPSA

It is my pleasure to inform you that the proposals submitted to the branch development programme can now reach up to 4000 US$, instead of 2000. We are expecting branch proposals, please visit . The next deadline is JULY 1st, don’t miss it. This is aimed at helping you.

The communication strategy is one important topic for the board, and we received 348 answers from 59 countries to our survey dedicated to the web site and social media. This was discussed at an online board meeting on April 25. The overall content of the web site was generally appreciated, which is a good point. We also realized the need to retain our young members with us.

Together with the Secretary General, Peter Van Horne, and a Vice-President, Fallou Gueye, I attended the 2nd Pan African Poultry Conference co-organized on May 16-18 by the branch of Togo and by CERSA, the regional excellence center for avian sciences based in the University of Lomé. The ministry in charge of research and higher education from Togo opened the conference, in the presence of the delegate ministry of Burkina-Faso for animal resources. The programme featured invited talks and short oral communications that triggered a very lively discussion. Simultaneous translation made possible to gather participants from whole Africa, either French-speaking or English-speaking. I congratulate the organizers for this successful event. In addition, it made possible to gather, on site or on-line, several representatives of WPSA branches from the African WPSA network recently created. The role of a branch was clarified by sharing experience, and it was decided to hold the next Pan African Poultry Conference in 2025, May 12-14, in Johannesburg. Save this date!

Working groups of the European Federation are getting ready for their symposiums, please check the calendar on the website. The waterfowl working group will also meet in Indonesia.

After postponement due to COVID, the Asian Poultry Conference will take place in China in November. See http://appc2023.bomeeting.net/cn for more information.

I hope that you will like the new format of this Newsletter. It is aimed at stimulating exchanges between our members. This is a way to develop the sense of belonging within our large WPSA family.

With my best regards

Dr Michèle Tixier-Boichard, President

News from the WPSA Board

tixier michele1

Introduction from the Secretary General

Dear WPSA members!

It is a great honour for me to write my first message in this newsletter, after being elected last summer for the next four years (2022-2026). From the 1st of January 2023 I have been involved in many activities of the WPSA Executive Committee and visited the IPPE Poultry show in Atlanta, the 2nd Pan Africa poultry Conference in Togo and the round table of Working Group 1 on Economics In Helsinki, Finland. I want to meet many members and branches to learn about their views and objectives to further promote knowledge of poultry science and the poultry industry. For the year 2023 and 2024 I will combine being the Secretary General of WPSA with my position as poultry economist at Wageningen University & Research.

This year the working groups of the European Federation have their symposia. Please check the calendar. I want to mention that working groups 4 and 5 jointly organise a symposium on quality of eggs and egg products and quality of poultry meat in Krakow, Poland. The Board of WPSA will attend this symposium after two days of the annual Board meeting.

Later this year the Asian Pacific Poultry Conference (APPC) will be held. This meeting has been postponed because of Covid and will now be held on 31 October to 4 November 2023 in Nanjing, China. For the programme please go to the website.

Later on, I will represent WPSA at VIV MEA in Abu Dhabi (20–22 November 2023) with a booth to promote WPSA activities. For me this is another opportunity to meet with members and branches of countries in the Middle East, North Africa and Asia.

With my best regards

Peter van Horne, Secretary General

May 2023 Newsletter Editor: Prof Avigdor Cahaner

 

Instead of text reports, branch secretaries will submit links to relevant web-based materials. Consisting of such links, the new format is aimed at more effectively disseminating the scientific and professional activities of WPSA members and branches.

Branch secretaries will collect, from their members, links (URL addresses) to materials such as Open Access papers, recorded lectures and webinars, PowerPoint presentations, web sites of conferences, etc. 
Each submitted link should have a short title reflecting the link's content, allowing readers to easily search the Newsletter (using Ctrl-F) for links of interest (see two examples, below).

We will accept links to websites in any language (considering the availability of web-based translation), but the language (if not English) of the website's contents should be included in the link's title.

WPSA members are encouraged to send, to their branch secretaries, links of relevant new (or updated) websites, as soon as they become available. You can find the list of all WPSA Branch secretaries here.

Branch secretaries should check the collected links and send them, once a month, to the WPSA Newsletter Editor, Avigdor Cahaner.

Examples:

  1. Screening of pigeons in Zurich reveals continuous circulation of Paramyxovirus-1 and a serious threat of transmission to domestic poultry (https://doi.org/10.3390/microorganisms10081656).
  2. Pakistan WPSA-Branch Newsletter (https://online.fliphtml5.com/dqrar/dfzz/).
