Sustainable Healthy Poultry For A Healthier World.

The 23rd World Veterinary Poultry Association (WVPA) Congress is set to take flight in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia, from 6–10 October 2025, bringing together a dynamic global community focused on one critical mission: building a healthier world through sustainable poultry practices.

With the theme “Sustainable Healthy Poultry For A Healthier World,” the congress promises to be more than just a gathering—it's a timely response to mounting global concerns around food safety, food security, and the increasing need for innovation in animal health. This international event is expected to draw over 2,000 delegates including veterinarians, researchers, pathologists, consultants, and industry trailblazers, all converging to share insights, challenge norms, and ignite change.

Hosted by WVPA Malaysia, with academic support from Universiti Putra Malaysia and the Institute of Bioscience, the congress will spotlight critical topics such as disease prevention, biosecurity strategies, and the ever-growing role of technology in sustainable poultry farming. It also opens a global stage for collaboration between researchers and producers, with the aim of securing the future of poultry health without compromising environmental and public health goals.

Registration is now open, and with a call for abstracts already underway, scientists and thought leaders are encouraged to contribute to the conversation. The event also invites industry participation through exhibition and sponsorship opportunities, offering brands a powerful platform to showcase innovation and engage directly with decision-makers.

A highlight of the congress will be the prestigious Bart Rispens Research Award, sponsored by MSD Animal Health, recognising groundbreaking work that has advanced poultry science in significant ways.

As the poultry industry navigates climate challenges, shifting consumer expectations, and the threat of emerging diseases, Kuching 2025 offers a rare opportunity to shape the future through collaboration, science, and sustainability. For anyone invested in the future of food and farming, this is one congress that promises to be as impactful as it is essential.
