The main points started in the seminars were:

The objectives of the seminars:

Poultry production occupies an important place in the national strategy aimed at guaranteeing food security for the
Algerian consumer. Poultry meat and eggs help to meet the animal protein needs in your food ration at a lower cost. It is a strategic sector in the country's economy and requires support
rigorous in terms of health, allowing harmonious development of the sector. However, the persistence and emergence of certain diseases, notably Avian Flu, hampers the development of this sector. Through the organization of this International Seminar, we try to shed light on all aspects related to the management of pathologies. Recommendations will be put in place, in order to meet adequate health needs, and thus allow continuous sanitation of the poultry sector, compliance with specific measures to combat diseases and the strengthening of health control, which are becoming an essential necessity in order to ensure a national objective which is food security with a view to sustainable development.
