The WPSA France has a long tradition of hosting international poultry conferences starting with the World’s Poultry Congress in 1951, followed by two European Poultry Conferences in 1986 and 2010, and more than ten meetings of WPSA working groups since 1983, dealing with nutrition, reproduction, economics, welfare, egg and meat quality. Members of WPSA France participate actively in all the working groups of the European Federation.

The French branch gathers more than 250 members and its board illustrates the spirit of WPSA by including members from higher education and research institutions, from technical poultry institutes as well as from the industry sector, in a balanced manner.
