Poultry Medicine for Veterinarians Course

Poultry Medicine Course for Veterinarians in Private Practice

REGISTER

There has been a growing interest in small and home poultry flocks around the country. An ever-growing population of urban chicken keepers works to change city ordinances to allow for home poultry.

As with any animal production enterprise, health problems occur.  Unfortunately, there are very few avian veterinarians available to help this group of producers. Most avian veterinarians are employed by large poultry production companies. This became a serious issue starting in January 2017 when new Veterinary Feed Directive regulations restricted the availability of common antibiotics. Any small or backyard flock owner wanting to purchase some medications previously available over-the-counter now needs a prescription from a licensed veterinarian.  There must be an existing veterinarian-client-patient relationship for the veterinarian to provide a prescription.

We remember Dr. Peter M. Biggs and Dr. Egon Vielitz

We remember Dr. Peter M. Biggs and Dr. Egon Vielitz

The American Association of Avian Pathologists regrets to inform members of the passing of Dr. Peter M. Biggs and Dr. Egon Vielitz. We send our condolences to their families and colleagues.

Sadly, Dr. Egon Vielitz died on December 29, 2021 at the age of 89.  He was the principal veterinarian for the Lohmann Company, a major poultry breeder and vaccine manufacturer located in Cuxhaven, Germany, from 1959 to 1999.  He was involved in nearly every important poultry disease problem in Europe (and the world) at various stages of his illustrious career but was especially proud of his work on chicken anemia virus leading to the first vaccine.  Dr. Vielitz collaborated widely, conducted and published groundbreaking research, and was a prominent contributor to international poultry medicine for many decades.  Fortunately, his amazing story of survival during the Hitler years and strong professional career is preserved for the ages in the AAAP biographical archives.  Funeral details are not yet available.
