In its 77th year, NECAD is probably the oldest conference
on Avian Diseases in the United States.
NECAD originated when researchers working on what it was then known
as white bacillary diarrhea (WBC) (pullorum disease) saw the need
to meet annually to share their experiences on the epidemiology, diagnosis
and control of WBC, In 1928 the Northeastern Conference of Laboratory
Workers in Bacillary Diarrhea was created. As pullorum disease was
controlled, the poultry industry flourished, and the need to prevent
and control other poultry diseases became evident. In 1957 Northeastern
Conference of Laboratory Workers in Bacillary Diarrhea changed its
name to Northeastern Conference on Avian Diseases (NECAD).
NECAD offers the opportunity to avian disease researchers and graduate
students to meet and present results of their research, and avian
disease topics of general interest for the Northeast. NECAD provides
the opportunity to present advances of research at a time when criticism
from colleagues will be of benefit in guiding works in progress, and
preparing the students for presentations at national and international
forums.
NECAD is regularly attended by avian disease workers from the provinces
of Prince Edward Island, Quebec and Ontario, and the states
of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland,
and Delaware. Workers from other states often join the Conference.
