AAAP Membership Dues Increase - Effective 2026

Starting in 2026, AAAP membership dues will increase to accommodate inflation-related expenses and ensure continued support for our profession.

  • Full and Associate Member Dues: Increasing from $220/year (2025) to $250/year (2026)
  • Student Member Dues: Increasing from $20/year (2025) to $25/year (2026)

At the January 2025 Board of Directors Meeting, the AAAP Board carefully considered this decision, recognizing the importance of maintaining the association's ability to serve its members effectively. This is the first dues increase since 2015, and it was made with thoughtful deliberation to compensate for inflation related increased expenses within the association to ensure AAAP can continue addressing the evolving needs of the poultry profession and its members.

APHIS Updates Policy to Enhance Surveillance of Turkey Flocks in Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Affected States

APHIS Updates Policy to Enhance Surveillance of Turkey Flocks in Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Affected States

As part of its ongoing, multi-faceted efforts to combat the spread of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service today is updating its policy for pre-slaughter surveillance to enhance testing of turkey flocks in affected states.  In late-December 2024, APHIS became aware of a genetic link between turkeys potentially infected with HPAI H5N1, virus detected in raw pet food, and an infected household cat. 

These updates include implementing isolation with clinical monitoring and premovement testing 72 hours prior to sending to slaughter, for turkey premises outside control areas in HPAI-affected states. Specifically, APHIS will be piloting this enhanced pre-slaughter surveillance, starting with turkey premises greater than 500 birds in Minnesota and South Dakota, based on current and historical HPAI detections of commercial turkey premises in these states. These states were selected because of genetic linkages to virus from infected cats and because of the high percentage of cases in turkeys in those states. APHIS will continue to evaluate progress of the outbreak and may update this policy, if needed, to include additional states.
