National Animal Health Reporting System Provides Data for Confirmed
Diseases
National Animal Health Reporting System (NAHRS) is a joint effort
of USAHA,
AAVLD,
and VS.
NAHRS was designed to provide data from chief State animal health
officials in the United States on the presence of confirmed clinical
diseases of major international significance in livestock (cattle,
goats, horses, sheep, swine, commercial poultry, and aquaculture).
Participation is voluntary. NAHRS ended FY 2002 with 34 States reporting
and five States in the process of finalizing plans to report on
the presence/absence of clinical occurrences of OIE-listed
diseases. States report on a monthly basis and an annual summary
report is used in preparation of the required annual report to OIE.
