What is the Cooperative industry/state/federal program to continually perform surveillance and enhance biosecurity for avian diseases?

• A. NATIONAL POULTRY IMPROVEMENT PLAN
• B. Poultry Surveillance Initiative
• C. National Avian Biosecurity Network
• D. Avian Health Cooperative

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is a formal, ongoing collaboration among industry, state, and federal partners to monitor poultry health and strengthen biosecurity across the industry. The National Poultry Improvement Plan embodies that collaboration, bringing together USDA-APHIS, state departments of agriculture, and poultry groups to coordinate regular disease surveillance, standardized testing, and certification of breeders, hatcheries, and flocks. This structure supports consistent biosecurity practices, data sharing, and the ability to keep disease-free status across state lines, protecting both the industry and public health. Other options don’t reflect that established multi-level cooperative framework with ongoing surveillance and biosecurity emphasis, so this plan best fits the description.
