The American Association of Avian Pathologists strives to prevent and eliminate the suffering and loss of poultry due to disease, to assure a safe poultry-associated food supply and to develop and use cutting edge, science-based techniques to meet these goals through the education of current and future scientists.
Mission Statement
The American Association of Avian Pathologists (AAAP) assures prevention and elimination of suffering and loss of poultry due to disease and the provision of a safe poultry-associated food supply through providing an open exchange of scientific and practical information. Veterinary and non-veterinary researchers, public, private and industry veterinarians, technicians, poultry company owners, industries supporting poultry production representatives, and flock managers are provided cutting edge science concerning the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of poultry disease as well as food safety and animal welfare through national and regional scientific meetings, text books, manuals, and pamphlets developed and authored by the AAAP membership. It is through this effort that the AAAP has received and continues to seek global recognition for this expertise.
