Following the creation of national branches of the Association it was a logical development for members in such branches to discuss possibilities for liaison on matters of common interest. In Europe, where around half the branches of the Association are located, collaboration between them was a natural development. The fact that the 1958 World's Poultry Congress was held a long way from Europe led to the idea of arranging regular meetings within the region that would facilitate reasonable participation costs. At a meeting in Rome in May 1959, and stimulated by the enthusiasm of Major Ian Macdougall, the formation of the European Federation of WPSA Branches became a reality. In 1960 the first in a series of European Conferences (see below) was held in Utrecht, the Netherlands. These events are held at four-year intervals, but two years out of phase with the World Congresses so as to avoid a clash. In addition these conferences, which are organized by the branch of the host country, tend to follow a different pattern from that adopted by the Congresses. The Presidents and Secretary-Treasurers of the Federation since its inception are listed below.

Another successful initiative by the European Federation has been the establishment of scientific and technical Working Groups, six of which were initiated in 1962. These groups, listed below, variously produce reports and arrange meetings and symposia. They have done much to stimulate international liaison and collaboration between scientists and technologists in the poultry industry.
Currently, branches joining the federation pay a small fee per member to defray administration costs. All members of branches making up the federation have the right to attend its quadrennial conferences and the symposia organised by Federation Working Groups.
