History and Management of the National Poultry Improvement Plan The National Poultry Improvement Plan became operational July 1, 1935. and the National Turkey Improvement Plan was activated on September 25, 1943. with the approval of the Secretary of Agriculture. On December 3, 1971 the two Plans were , combined under one title, "The National Poultry Improvement Plan," with separate provisions applicable to the different types of poultry. The Plan is implemented by State authorities in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in administering regulations for the improvement of poultry, poultry products, and hatcheries. Authority for the administration of the Plan is now contained in the Department of Agriculture Organic Act of 1944, as amended (7U.S.C. 429). Provisions of the Plan are changed from time to time to conform with the development of the industry and with new information as becomes available. These changes are it based on recommendations made at the biennial national Plan conferences by official delegates representing participating breeders, hatcheries, and flock owners from all cooperating States. Current provisions of the Plan are contained in a publication entitled "The National Poultry Improvement Plan and Auxiliary Provisions." This publication (APHIS 91-55-038) is available from Official State Agencies or on request to the National Poultry Improvement Plan, USDA, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services, 1498 Klondike Road, Suite 200, GA Conyers, 30094. National Poultry Improvement Plan U.S. Pullorum—Typhoid Clean States 0/0 Qualifying date Classified for turkeys only I IClassified for all poultry February 1998 Hatchery-Disseminated Diseases The following States have received recognition for their efforts in controlling certain hatchery-disseminated diseases under the National Poultry Improvement Plan.

This list of participants is published for the purpose of devel- oping greater efficiency in the operation of the Plan. Additional information regarding participants may be obtained by communicating with the Contact Representative of the Official State Agency of the respective State. The Contact Representative's name, address, and telephone number are given at the beginning of each State's listings in table 1. This publication is revised each year because of frequent changes in participation and the need for inspectors, hatchery managers, dealers, and others to have up-to-date information. In addition to this listing, all Official State Agencies are notified of changes in participation that take place during the year. The National Poultry Improvement Plan provisions, as contained in Title 9, Chapter I, Parts 145 and 147 of the Code of Federal Regulations, provide for recognition of different classes or types of fowl as follows: — Subpart B Egg-Type Chickens, — Subpart C Meat-Type Chickens, — Subpart D Turkeys, and — Subpart E Waterfowl, Exhibition Poultry, and Game Birds. Participants handling waterfowl, exhibition poultry, and game birds are listed in a separate publication (APHIS 91-55-040) in this series. Approval Numbers In table 1 of this publication, the numerals preceding the name of the State, together with those preceding the name of each participant, constitute the participant's approval number. For example, the approval number for the first hatchery listed under Alabama is 64—183. The number 64 represents the State of Alabama; 183 represents Centurion Poultry, 5087 County Road 35, Bremen 35033. These assigned numbers may be used by participants on shipping labels, certificates, invoices, and other documents for identification. The numbers may also be used as reference numbers for shipments to member States of the European Economic Community. Participant's Name Three types of participants are listed in this publication: hatcheries, dealers, and and Address independent flocks. For each State, the type of participant is given immediately above the first name in that category. Hatching-Egg Capacity Figures in this column refer to the hatching-egg capacity of hatcheries, according to manufacturer's rating, including setting and hatching trays. Letter symbols in this column refer to products that dealers handle, as follows: E, hatching eggs; C, chicks; P, poults; and SP, started pullets. When an independent flock is listed, this column is left blank. Products and All products handled by participants listed in this publication meet the specific require- ments for a "U.S. Pullorum-Typhoid Clean" classification. The combined letter and numeral symbols shown in the fourth column identify the particular breed, strain, or trade name of the participant's products (see tables 4 and 5 in the appendix). Crosses are designated by combining the letter symbols and code numbers of both parent stocks, listing the male first. Thus a t9t18 code would indicate that the participant was handling a cross consisting of a Hubbard male mated to a Pilch female. Additional classifications for which these products qualify are identified in column five by MG, "U.S. M. gallisepticum Clean"; MS, "U.S. M. synoviae Clean"; MM, "U.S. M. meleagridis Clean"; SAN MON, "U.S. Sanitation Monitored"; and SE, "U.S. Salmonella enteritidis Monitored."
