Links to other sites of interest:
This site was written by colleague of mine, Dr. Tablante.
 
http://www.tahc.state.tx.us/News/brochures/biosecurity.pdf  This site addresses biosecurity concerning cattle, but the principles are the same for poultry.
 
http://www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/npip/ This is the website to the National Poultry Improvement Plan(NPIP). I have argued for years that producers should belong to the NPIP. The cost is miniscule. In return you are listed in the annual directory, usually published in February. Belonging to NPIP indicates to your customers your birds are free of certain diseases. It indicates your commitment to producing quality birds. Likewise, you should purchase birds only from NPIP certified producers.
 
This list will be edited periodically so if you see a link you really like save it to your favorites list.
 
 

My Philosophy is to offer my services for the benefit of the community. My financial return will be minimal. In todays climate of corporate scandal, I assure potential clients of fair, ethical services.
