National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP)

The National Poultry Improvement Program (NPIP) is carried out in Texas, by the following:

  • The Texas Poultry Improvement Association (TPIA) administers fees & dues associated with the program.
  • The Texas Poultry Improvement Board (TPIB) administers the testing, rules and regulations related to the NPIP.
  • USDA-VS coordinate all states that have a NPIP state program.

Major benefits of NPIP are:

  • Program recognition (started in late 1930’s).
  • Standard terminology for disease classification.
  • International recognition.
  • Listing in USDA-VS publication.
  • Aids in poultry sales and/or movement of product, especially across state lines.

*Note: NPIP membership is not required for poultry sales and/or movement of product within the state of Texas.*

To become part of NPIP in Texas, the owner / manager of the operation will need to:

  • Test your flock under the Texas Pullorum-Typhoid Program.
  • Complete the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and fee statement.
  • Return the MOU, fee statement with payment to the Texas Poultry Improvement Association and a copy of your annual PT flock test.
    • NPIP participants are strongly encouraged to submit a new PT test if their current test expires within 60 days of enrollment or renewal in the NPIP program.
  • Submit annual dues. Once paid, dues allow participants to be active in the program from July 1 – June 30. Dues are not prorated.
