These changes were voted on and approved by industry delegates during the NPIP’s 2022 National Plan Conference and are designed to strengthen biosecurity, clarify requirements, and align the Plan with current industry practices.

Key updates include:

  • Conditioning indemnity for low pathogenicity avian influenza on adherence to approved biosecurity plans.
  • Clarifying and updating provisions related to NPIP participation, testing procedures, and voting requirements.
