National Animal Health Monitoring System

The National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) is a program in the United States that tracks the health and welfare of livestock and poultry. It collects data on various factors, such as disease prevalence, management practices, and economic impacts. The information gathered helps farmers, veterinarians, and policymakers make informed decisions to improve animal health, enhance food safety, and support the agricultural economy. By monitoring trends and addressing potential issues, NAHMS plays a crucial role in protecting both animal and public health.
