On behalf of the World Poultry Science Association - Federation of European Branches, the Institute of Poultry Diseases at Free University Berlin organized the 5th International Symposium on Turkey Production: Toward Better Welfare and Health. This event aimed to foster the exchange of current information and ideas related to turkey production, focusing on specific challenges and encouraging innovative solutions. The symposium featured 40 oral presentations across seven main sections, covering topics such as turkey production and management, biosecurity, nutrition, animal welfare, production integrity, and health disorders affecting turkey production. Attended by 191 scientists and experts from 21 countries, the symposium highlighted the global commitment to improving turkey welfare and health. Special thanks are extended to the speakers for sharing their expertise, the sponsors for their essential support, and the planning team at the Institute of Poultry Diseases for their efforts. The information presented is intended to serve as a valuable resource for everyone involved in the turkey production chain. The next symposium is scheduled for June 2011 in Berlin, and we look forward to welcoming participants there. Prof. H. M. Hafez, Institute of Poultry Diseases, Free University Berlin, Chairman of the Working Group 10, World’s Poultry Science Association.
