The Sitch: Episode 26 - National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) 

Welcome back to The Sitch! In this month's episode, Dr. Maurice Pitesky introduces the National Poultry Improvement Plan, or NPIP for short. As chick season arrives, it is a good idea to ask breeders and other large-scale farmers who sell chicks if they use NPIP certified facilities. Chances are that if they do, your chicks have the highest likelihood of staying healthy into adulthood. Check out more information about NPIP on their website!
