Welcome

The Houghton Trust is a company limited by guarantee, registered in England. It is also a Registered Charity.

The Houghton Trust was established with the primary objective of promoting the extension of knowledge in the field of avian pathology in all matters related to the diseases of birds, including bacteriology, epizootiology, genetics, immunology, parasitology, pathology, toxicology and virology and the dissemination of such extended knowledge to the public.

It achieves this objective by:

• awarding travel grants to young scientists,
• producing Avian Pathology, the Journal of the World Veterinary Poultry Association and
• sponsoring the Houghton Trust Lecture at each international congress of the World Veterinary Poultry Association.
  Nominations for the 2013 Houghton Lecturer are now invited:
