Abstract
We are amending the National Poultry Improvement Plan (the Plan) to provide for the participation of ostrich breeding flocks in the provisions of the Plan. The addition of provisions for ostrich breeding flocks to the Plan was voted on and approved by the voting delegates at the Plan's 1996 National Plan Conference. Adding provisions for ostriches to the Plan will make it possible for the owners of ostrich flocks to voluntarily participate in the Plan's programs for the prevention and control of egg-transmitted, hatchery- disseminated poultry diseases.
