This congress is organised by ITAVI, INRA, ANSES and CTCPA, with the support of the French branches of the World Poultry Science Association (WPSA) and the World Veterinary Poultry Association (WVPA), two international poultry science organisations.

As in previous years, a simultaneous translation (French into English) will be available for foreign participants in plenary sessions and the workshops on 'Nutrition' and 'Pathology and Prevention'.

All themes of poultry science will be addressed: Economy and Sectors, Multi-criteria methods to assess sustainability, Environment, Animal Welfare and Breeding Systems, Pathology and Prevention, Hygiene and Food Quality, Genetics, Selection and Reproduction, Nutrition.

Each session will be introduced by a series of overviews, dealing with topical subjects, from the work of collaboration between researchers and practitioners. Overviews will be followed by more targeted short communications.

Parallel workshops will be organised, allowing the authors to present briefly their studies and their conclusions, and to encourage discussion and debate

Posters will be exhibited for attendees to view during the breaks
