The United Kingdom Branch of the WPSA
The UK Branch was established in 1946 and has the same objectives as the parent
Association but also places emphasis on the advancement of vocational training
and education in poultry husbandry and poultry science. The Branch is a charity,
registered in England No 803616, run by an elected Council
of Trustees with a number of Committees.
A typical series of meetings of the Branch consists of:
(a) A two-day Annual Meeting held in late March / early April, including;
(i) The Annual General Meeting of the Branch
(ii) A Symposium consisting of invited papers on a specialised scientific
or industrial topic
(iii) A session of Short Submitted Research Papers during which scientists,
especially young research workers, can present their latest findings.
(iv) A poster session with opportunities to review research work completed
and in progress
(b) A Poultry Science Symposium normally held in alternate years. Each Symposium
is residential over three days and is concerned with particular topics
ranging over basic science and practical applications. Recent Symposia
were:
25th Symposium (1997) - Poultry Meat Science
26th Symposium (1999) - Poultry Feedstuffs
27th Symposium (2003) - Welfare of Laying Hens
28th Symposium (2005) - Avian Gut Function, Health and Disease
29th Symposium (2007) - Biology of Breeding Poultry
The 2007 Symposium proceedings will be available later and an announcement
will be made on this website and in the Branch Newsletter.
The Proceedings of a Poultry Science Symposium provide an up-to-date text
book on issues of current research. The papers of Volumes 1 – 24
which are in print may be purchased from Carfax Publishing Co, PO Box 25,
Abingdon, Oxon, OX14 3UE and the 2003 and 2005 Symposium proceedings
are available from CABI Publishing, CAB International, Wallingford, Oxon,
OX10 8DE.
All members of the Branch receive a Newsletter on
current activities, sent out in Spring, Summer and Autumn. The Newsletters
contain information regarding Branch meetings and affairs, European workshops
and symposia , and developments in the World body.
