Summary of Collection: Collection
and dissemination of animal health data
and information is mandated by 7
U.S.C. 391, the Animal Industry Act of
1884, which established the precursor of
the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services,
the Bureau of Animal Industry. The
collection, analysis and dissemination
of livestock and poultry health
information on a national basis are
consistent with the APHIS mission of
protecting and improving American
agriculture’s productivity and
competitiveness. In connection with
this mission, the National Animal
Health Monitoring System’s (NAHMS)
program includes periodic national
commodity studies to investigate animal
health related issues and examine
general health and management
practices used on farms. NAHMS will
initiate the fourth national data
collection for dairy through Dairy 2007.
The Dairy 2007 study is a part of an
ongoing series of NAHMS studies on the
U.S. dairy population.
Need and Use of the Information: The
purpose of this fourth dairy study is to
collect information, through
questionnaires and biologic sampling to
help the United States detect trends in
the management, production, and health
status of the nation’s dairy industry over
time. Without this type of national data,
the U.S.’s ability to detect trends in
management, production, and health
status, either directly or indirectly,
would be reduced or nonexistent.
