Abstract
In the event of a highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreak in the United States, poultry
industry, local, State, and Federal authorities will implement a foreign animal disease emergency
response. In these circumstances, permit requests to move poultry and poultry products must be
supported by risk assessments which demonstrate that the risk of HPAI spread associated with
the movement is acceptable. Performing the risk assessments prior to an HPAI outbreak can
enhance emergency response and facilitate timely movement permitting decisions during an
outbreak. This document assesses the risk that the movement of market-age broilers to
processing (i.e., broilers to market), during an HPAI outbreak, from a premises located within
the Control Area, will result in HPAI virus spread to a virus-free poultry premises.
This risk assessment is a joint effort of the Secure Broiler Supply (SBS) Working Group, which
is made up of representatives from the broiler industry, academia, State Animal Health Officials
(SAHOs), and the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (USDA:APHIS), to support permits for the terminal movement of broilers to processing
during an HPAI outbreak. This assessment is applicable to intensively raised commercial or
contract grow-out broiler premises that do not have other poultry on the premises and practice an
all-in, all-out single-age growing system. These broiler facilities must participate in the USDA
APHIS National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) and follow the SBS Plan in the event of an
HPAI outbreak. The SBS Plan contains science-based outbreak measures developed by the SBS
working group to mitigate the risk of HPAI spread associated with the terminal movement of live
birds to market.
