You were selected to participate in the National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) Poultry 2025 Small Enterprise study, and a questionnaire was recently mailed to you. If you have already responded, please accept our sincere thanks. If you have not responded, there’s still time.

We are especially grateful for your help. It is only by asking people like you to share your experiences that we can improve our shared understanding of poultry health and management practices, including any needs and challenges. Your participation in this study is voluntary and responses to this survey will be kept confidential, as required by federal law. You are one of the few poultry producers selected to participate in this study, and your answers will represent many other poultry producers like you.
