On behalf of the World Poultry Science Association - Federation of European Branches, the Institute of Poultry Diseases at Free University Berlin organized the 6th International Symposium on Turkey Production and Health. This event aimed to facilitate the exchange of current information and ideas related to turkey production, focusing on specific challenges and encouraging innovative solutions. The symposium featured 41 oral presentations across several sections. The initial sections addressed moral and ethical considerations, genetic selection, rearing management, and nutrition for improved production. Subsequent sections explored nanotechnology in food and packaging, dioxin contamination in feed, and the use of antibiotics and vaccines. Additional discussions covered various health disorders affecting turkey production, animal welfare, and food safety. A total of 191 scientists and experts from 24 countries participated. Special thanks are extended to the speakers for sharing their expertise and to the sponsors whose generosity made this broad participation possible. Appreciation is also expressed to the planning and coordination teams, particularly the staff at the Institute of Poultry Diseases. The information presented is intended to serve as a valuable reference for those involved in the turkey production chain. The next symposium is scheduled for June 2013 in Berlin, and attendees are encouraged to participate.
