Poultry Farm Audit Checklist

Use the Poultry Farm Audit Checklist to monitor bird health, biosecurity protocols, and housing conditions, ensuring animal welfare and regulatory compliance.

1. Are biosecurity warning signs clearly posted at all entry points to the production areas?

2. Is there a defined physical barrier (e.g., a "line of separation") between the bird housing and the outside environment?

3. Is a visitor log maintained to record every person entering the facility, including their recent contact with other poultry?

4. Are footbaths or sanitizing stations with fresh, approved disinfectant used at every entrance to the poultry houses?

5. Is site-specific clothing and footwear (or disposable gear) provided for all personnel and visitors?

6. Are vehicle tires and undercarriages disinfected before they enter the secure production zone?

7. Does the farm enforce a policy prohibiting staff from keeping personal poultry or exotic birds at their place of residence?

1. Is there a comprehensive flock health plan in place, ideally reviewed by a qualified veterinarian?

2. Are birds inspected at least twice daily, with records kept of their condition and behavior?

3. Are mortality rates recorded daily, and are carcasses removed and disposed of immediately in a sanitary manner?

4. Do all birds have continuous access to potable water and balanced feed appropriate for their age and breed?

5. Are sick or injured birds promptly identified and managed according to a humane care protocol?

6. Is there an emergency management plan for infrastructure failures (e.g., power or water loss)?

1. Are poultry houses cleaned and sanitized using a "down-time" period between every flock?

2. Are all vents, eaves, and windows screened to prevent the entry of wild birds, rodents, and other pests?

3. Is the ventilation system tested regularly to maintain appropriate air quality and temperature?

4. Does the lighting program provide a sufficient dark period to ensure adequate bird rest?

5. Is the litter/bedding maintained in a dry, friable condition to minimize ammonia and paw issues?

1. Is poultry feed stored in secure, weatherproof bins that are protected from vermin?

2. Are feed delivery systems regularly inspected for mold or blockages?

3. Are all veterinary medicines and agrichemicals stored in a secure, locked area away from the birds and feed?

4. Are records of all treatments and vaccinations (including dates and withdrawal periods) meticulously maintained?

1. Do all employees receive documented training on biosecurity and animal welfare at least annually?

2. Are maintenance logs kept for all critical equipment, such as backup generators and heaters?
