National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP)

The National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) is a cooperative program in the United States designed to enhance the health of poultry and ensure high-quality products. Established in 1935, it helps regulate and monitor poultry breeding, focusing on disease prevention and egg quality. The NPIP works with poultry producers, veterinarians, and federal and state authorities to promote biosecurity measures, testing for diseases, and certification programs. By participating in NPIP, poultry producers can improve their flocks' health, boost production efficiency, and provide safer food to consumers.
