Abstract
The Asian-Australasian Association of Animal Production Societies AAAP was created in 1980 to promote animal production in the Asian-Australasian region through national regional international cooperation and conferences. Of the various activities the AAAP Animal Congress and the Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences AJAS are the two most important ones. There have been 11 successful AAAP Animal Science Congresses including the current one in 2004 in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. By looking at statistics participation from the AAAP and outside the region is ever increasing with more scientific presentations which is an indication of increased status of the Association. Overall it can be said that AAAP has contributed very much to the advancement of animal production in the Asia-Australasian region and at the same time it has brought about some degree of unity among animal scientists in the region. AJAS is the official Journal of AAAP and commenced its publication in 1988. Initially AJAS published four issues per year but now it has become a monthly journal. The number of papers published in a year has also been dramatically increased during the last 17 years. Now it is a Science Citation Index SCI journal. Undoubtedly AJAS has made it much easier for scientists in the livestock sector of our region to publish and to disseminate their findings to users more rapidly. Despite much success of AAAP and AJAS in the past there is still room for improvement. This paper was prepared to review various past activities of AAAP and to propose some suggesstions for the future of animal science and industry in the Asian-Australasian.
