National Animal Health Reporting System

The National Animal Health Reporting System (NAHRS) is a program in the United States that collects and shares information about animal health. Established to monitor diseases affecting livestock and poultry, NAHRS helps track outbreaks and trends in animal diseases. This information is crucial for protecting animal health, ensuring food safety, and preventing disease spread to humans and other animals. The system collaborates with state and federal agencies, veterinarians, and farmers to provide timely data, enabling better decision-making and response strategies in animal health management.
