Welcome French Buiatrics Association

Background and introduction

The French Buiatrics Association, constituted under the French law of 1901, was founded in 1973 by Professor Jacques Espinasse who became its chairman until 1996. Its members are passionately committed to applying the principles that form the basis of its action, as described by its founder: "The French Buiatrics Association shall address all matters related to cattle production. Its aim is to bring news to veterinarians and animal production managers and ensure that they communicate one with another, while at the same time attempting to harmonize their operations. This means extending the scope of our activities to cover all areas concerning successful herd design and management".

The association is intended to function as a tool made available to practitioners. It organizes top-level training courses by skilled scientists who are specialists not only in bovine veterinary medicine but also in all fields impacting on cattle production (nutrition, genetics, reproduction, biotechnologies). It also spreads scientific knowledge and practices in bovine veterinary medicine. Since it was first created, it has published 56 books. Its annual national conferences given by highly specialized experts ensure a process of constant updating. It helps make veterinarians specialized in bovine medicine essential partners in the fields of animal health, optimized production management, consumer safety and animal well-being.

From 1996 to 2004, Hervé Navetat continued this vast program with a constant focus on quality, news and openness. In 2006 he had the great honor and privilege of organizing the 24th World Buiatrics Congress in Nice which brought together 3,400 participants.
