Non-Commercial Pasture Egg Layer Survey

KDA Survey to Advance Secure Poultry Supply Planning

Secure Food Supply planning is a national effort to provide guidance to livestock and poultry producers for preparation for a foreign animal disease outbreak. The Secure Poultry Supply Plan (SPS) encourages poultry and egg producers to voluntarily prepare for an outbreak, such as Avian Influenza, to better position themselves to limit exposure of their animals through enhanced biosecurity and, surveillance, to be able to move animals and animal products with no evidence of disease. This preparation would help to maintain production and commerce during an outbreak. As part of SPS plans producers and their veterinarians develop farm-specific written biosecurity plans for use in an outbreaks.

In an effort to develop and provide outreach guidance for Kentucky specific SPS plan, the Kentucky Department of Agriculture seeks your participation in an online survey of current farm management and biosecurity practices. The survey is anonymous. We encourage your input. 

The survey is available at https://www.kyagr.com/statevet/emergency-programs.html and will be available for your participation until June 30th.
