The role of Authorized Testers

Since 2017, the Texas PT Program has relied on privately trained individuals to test poultry flocks across the state. Authorized Testers are critical to the overall health of Texas’ poultry populations and ensure Texas maintains our status as a PT-Clean state. 

Texas is home to a lot of poultry. The Texas PT Program recognizes the invaluable role Authorized Testers play in poultry health and strives to make testing processes convenient to aid in timely results.
