December 2015

The 2015 Autumn Meeting of the Japan Poultry Science Association (JPSA) was held at Rakuno Gakuen University in Hokkaido during 9-10 September. The meeting included a total of 49 paper presentations, an open symposium, as well as council and general meetings. A total of 141 participants attended the meeting.
The open symposium entitled ‘Current status and issues on animal welfare for meat-type chicken production’ contained four keynote addresses and a panel discussion. Over 80 people attended the symposium. The discussions were lively with an active exchange of opinions about animal welfare issues for broiler chickens.
During the Autumn Business Meeting, the JPSA Award was presented to Dr. Tomohiro Sasanami, Shizuoka University; and, the JPSA Encouragement Prize was presented to Dr. Tatsuhiko Goto, Ibaraki University, for their brilliant research achievements. The research topics of Dr. Sasanami and Dr. Goto were as follows: ‘Studies on the molecular mechanism of avian fertilization,’ and the ‘Identification of quantitative trait loci for egg-related traits in chickens’, respectively.
In addition, Kiichi Minami (Kobe University), Shoko Namekawa (Ibaraki University), Tatsuya Koyama (Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology), and Mana Kawaguchi (Kagoshima University) received excellent presentation awards in the category of ‘students’ or ‘members aged 30 and below’ for the following presentations: ‘Exhaustive gene expression profiling analysis on the asymmetric morphogenesis of embryonic chicken gonad’; ‘Interaction of STAT3 and STAT5 in the leptin signal transduction’; ‘Effects of leucine and isoleucine supplementation on myogenesis in broilers’; and the ‘Effects of delayed feed intake on growth performance and intestinal flora in broiler chicks’, respectively.

The 2016 Spring Meeting of JPSA will be held on March 30 at the Nippon Veterinary and Life Science University in Musashino, Tokyo.

The Journal of Poultry Science (the official journal of JPSA, http://jpn-psa.jp/?lang=en Impact Factor 0.802) always welcomes the submission of reviews and original papers.
