National Poultry Improvement Plan

The National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) is a government and industry partnership that helps ensure the health and safety of poultry, such as chickens and turkeys, across the United States. It sets standards and conducts testing to prevent and control diseases like salmonella and avian influenza. By participating in NPIP, poultry producers can certify their flocks are healthy, which promotes consumer confidence, supports safe food production, and helps prevent the spread of diseases that can affect both poultry and humans.
