During the three-day tour, the group will also visit livestock farming organisations and large-scale pig farms in Thailand.
Mr Yip said the Association, established in 1987, had been actively promoting the development of local livestock industry.
It had organised various overseas livestock farming study visits in the previous years. Places visited included China, Taiwan and Malaysia.
These visits had proved useful as advanced farming techniques and methods acquired overseas could be shared among local farmers, he added.
The delegation is expected to return to Hong Kong on March 15.

102 VMs depart on orderly repatriation flight
A group of 102 Vietnamese migrants (VMs) returned by air to Hanoi, Vietnam today (Tuesday) on the 97th flight under the Orderly Repatriation Programme (ORP).
The majority of the returnees, comprising 71 men, 16 women, seven boys and eight girls, were from North Vietnam. Only 15 of the returnees were from Central and South Vietnam.
Most of the returnees arrived in Hong Kong in 1989 and 1996, with the remaining in 1988 and 1991.
The group brought to 9,802 the total number repatriated on ORP flights since November 1991.
