Hunt Begins for Poultry Veterinarian of the Year
New global award for young poultry veterinarians is announced.

The World Veterinary Poultry Association is launching a new, global award for veterinarians.

The WVPA Young Veterinarian of the Year 2012 award will be presented at Poultry Focus in Asia next February. The award - to be judged by a panel of global experts - is open to qualified vets who are below the age of 35 on the 31st December 2011.

Dr Trevor Bagust, the President of the WVPA believes the award will help to highlight the high standard of veterinary care at work in the poultry industry.

He said: "Maintaining excellent bird health and welfare is at the very heart of efficient poultry production and so veterinarians have a key role to play in successful poultry businesses."

He added: "This new award will look for individuals who have the dedication, motivation and flexibility that modern poultry veterinarians must have in order to add value to the businesses they serve. We are looking for individuals who go beyond best practice; individuals who are an integral and invaluable part of the businesses they support."

The winner will receive 5000 US dollars towards travel and accommodation expenses for attending an international scientific/technical or continued professional education meeting of their choice.
