Ladies and Gentlemen,

The 66^th Annual Meeting of the European Federation of Animal Science (EAAP) will be held from 31^st of August to 4^th of September 2015, on the Campus of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences SGGW. It will be organised under the patronage of the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development. The main Organiser of the Congress is the Polish Society of Animal Production, which will have the honour for the third time in its history - previously it was in 1975 and 1998.

Due to the fact that the EAAP associates scientists and practitioners, as well as the representatives of the administration linked to animal science from nearly all European and world countries, has as its goal the promotion of improvement of animal agriculture through the application of science.

Annual Meetings are the most significant forum for the exchange of information and discussion of animal production issues in Europe, and one of the most influential in the world. Therefore the EAAP Congress gives an unique opportunity to present scientific and technical achievements of animal science and its translation into practice. A special discussion panel session (ID I LID) will be organised on the specific issue of the implementation of scientific research outcomes in practice. Moreover, we plan to organize an exhibition, promoting mainly the companies active in the field of animal production.

On behalf of the Hosts and Organisers I cordially invite you to participate in the Congress, aimed at translating research into animal production practice.
