December 2015

The Congress on: ‘The Potential for Poultry Production in Developing Countries,’ that the Turkey and Russian branches jointly organised in the Antalya, Belek Spice Hotel & Spa between 15-18 October 2015 was a complete success. The harmonious cooperation between our two branches led to this successful outcome. One of the main objectives of WPSA is to create a scientific and a social network that spans all 79 branches from across the world. This congress was in line with the spirit of the WPSA to bring poultry scientists and representatives from the world-wide poultry industry together. The theme of the congress, the untapped potential of poultry production in many developing countries is crucial for the expansion of this vital health food source in all emerging countries.
Another objective of the congress was to contribute to the expanding social, economic and commercial relations between Turkey and the Russian Federation in the area of poultry science. To accomplish this goal, a round table meeting between representatives of the poultry sector as well as representatives of relevant ministries from Turkey and Russia was held during the congress.
Two hundred ninety two people participated in the congress. A total of 113 scientific papers were submitted to the congress and these include 16 invited speakers, 21 oral presentations and 76 poster presentations. The distinguished scientists who have submitted papers come from 27 countries: Afghanistan, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Belgium, Botswana, Brazil, Croatia, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Togo, Turkey, the United Kingdom and Vietnam.

The Turkish Branch also has preparations underway for a National Congress at Samsun during 5-8 October 2016.
