Management factors in condemnations When compuls()r\- inspection of dressed \wi\\- try moving in interstate traffic became law on •January 1, 1959, there arose the problem of high condemnation rates, particularly from chronic respiratory disease. In an effort to find some solution for this economic loss, the Division in cooperation with the Agricultural Mai-keting Ser\ice conducted surveys in se- lected flocks in Arkansas, Louisiana, Missis- sip])i, and East Texas. These limited sui'veys indicated that the high condemnation rates wei'e caused by lack of good management, in- atlequate housing, and substandard or no disease control plans by producers. Similar coojjerative studies with State and industry representatives have been conducted in Georgia and the Delmarva Peninsula. Poultry prospects Eradication of oi-nithosis or psittacosis can- not be planned at this time because of the unavailability of a reliable, practical field di- agnostic test. The immediate objective is the of information regarding the nature and clinical manifestations of the di- sease. After treatment, recovered flocks may be marketed when deemed safe by State and Federal officials. In 1958, the National Plans Confei-ence of the National Poultry and Turkey Improvement Plans adopted a resolution that the Animal Disease Eradication Division i)i'omul- gate a Federal Regulation limiting the inter- state movement of poultry except from those flocks and hatcheries that meet the minimum requirement of the NPIP and NTIP in regard to jndlorum diseas
