U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services (VS), in collaboration with the National Aquaculture Association (NAA) with have developed a framework for aquatic livestock health inspection and verification . CAHPS is based on the fundamentals of early detection, targeted surveillance, and risk-based biosecurity practices to ensure livestock health and provide confidence that the health status of the livestock is accurate and protected. Participants in CAHPS develop their own livestock health and biosecurity plans based on the needs or requirements for live animal movement, trade, or marketing. CAHPS is a voluntary health improvement program designed to help farmers reduce the burden of repeated health testing and ensure biosecurity practices are adequate to prevent the introduction of unwanted pathogens.
