The XIIIth European Poultry Conference will be held from 23 to 27 August 2010 in Tours (France). This event is organised by the French branch of the World's Poultry Science Association (WPSA) with support of the INRA, AFSSA and ITAVI.

This congress which is organized every four years, addresses to all facets of poultry production and attracts around 1000 attendees from more than 70 countries. This not to be missed meeting offers a great opportunity to meet experts from all over the world. It allows exchanges of new information on the different aspects of poultry production such as biology and physiology of birds, breeding and rearing systems, nutrition, health, hygiene and food security, pathology, environmental impact, animal welfare, product quality and industrial processes. Technical and economic domains and poultry education will be also presented. Each theme will have specific sessions organized around an overview, as well as oral communications, posters and plenary discussions.

In addition to the scientific programme, the WPSA will organise technical tours. A special programme for accompanying persons is also scheduled to allow them to discover Tours and its surroundings.
