Celebrating the 2025 EAAP Distinguished Service Awardees

EAAP is proud to announce the recipients of the 2025 EAAP Distinguished Service Awards: Isabel Casasús (Spain), Marcello Mele (Italy), and Jean-François Hocquette (France). These prestigious awards are granted by the EAAP Council to honour senior individuals for their exceptional careers and dedicated service to the livestock sector and to EAAP itself. Each of the 2025 awardees has made a permanent impact on animal science through their leadership, scientific excellence, and long-standing commitment to collaboration across Europe and beyond. Their work has significantly contributed to the services that EAAP offers to its members and to animal science in general. EAAP is honoured to celebrate their achievements and grateful for their unwavering support of our scientific community. We extend our warmest congratulations to Isabel, Marcello, and Jean-François for this well-deserved recognition.
