| The National Poultry Improvement Plan is a cooperative industry, | |
| state and federal program that focuses on improving the health | |
| and quality of poultry and poultry products throughout the | |
| United States. Participation in the NPIP program is voluntary | |
| and in Alabama there is no charge to the individual. However, | |
| most states require NPIP compliance if you are going to produce, | |
| sell and SHIP fertile hatching eggs or baby chicks out of state. | |
| The State of AL requires you become NPIP certified as an | |
| Independent Hatchery and purchase a 10.00 Hatchery Permit every | |
| year. In the link below you will find more information | |
| concerning the NPIP program in AL and contact information to set | |
| up an inspection. | |
