We need your help in ensuring that AAAP continues to be recognized as an allied veterinary association of the AVMA.
The AAAP's status as a constituent member of the American Veterinary Medical Association is dependent on AAAP demonstrating that we have a achieved the required threshold of members who are also AVMA members. Thus, it is vital that members get involved so AAAP can achieve the required number to maintain our constituent member status with AVMA.
A great way to get more involved in AAAP activities, is to join a committee! AAAP members can join or leave committees using the forms found under the "Committees" tab on the website, or by clicking one of the buttons below.
Modern Poultry now has a page dedicated to the AAAP under their Industry Insights! AAAP members can find this page by clicking the button below or by clicking the link under External Links on the AAAP homepage.
On May 31st, the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service put on a webinar entitled "Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Epidemiology Update".

Gamebird Medicine and Management (eds. Teresa Y. Morishita and Robert E. Porter, ISBN: 978-1-119-7121-3, 384 pages, October 2022)) is a complete and authoritative reference on the management of gamebirds and exhibition Galliformes in health and disease. The authors combine relevant material from avian veterinarians, commercial production professionals and experts from the conservation and captive breeding sectors, to develop diagnostic and treatment plans for small or large gamebird flocks. The emphasis is on management and diseases of pheasants, partridges and quail, but the text includes focused chapters on exhibition galliformes, guinea fowl and peafowl.
