Welcome Message

It with great pleasure and honor that we welcome you once again to the Philippines for the 6th WVPA Asia Meeting which will be held on Oct 17-18, 2024 at the Marriott Hotel Manila. This year’s theme is Strengthening Poultry Health: Enhancing Preparedness for Disease Emergencies and aptly captures the challenges faced by the poultry industry worldwide. 

We then would like to take this opportunity to invite poultry veterinarians, researchers, academicians and practitioners from across Asia and around the world to this gathering; block the dates and join us on the momentous event. We enjoin all of you to share your knowledge and expertise with fellow poultry veterinarians through oral and poster presentations. This will also be an opportunity to engage with technical experts, exchange experiences and learn state-of-the-art innovations, updates and methods to address poultry health problems and challenges. 

See you all in Manila! Mabuhay!
