PHIS disposition data for poultry is typically recorded at which level?

• A. Per lot
• B. Per shift
• C. Per producer
• D. Individually

Answer: (A)

PHIS disposition data for poultry is tracked by batch, or lot. The system records the fate of a defined group processed together, which makes it practical to summarize whether that whole batch is accepted, diverted, reworked, or condemned. Recording per shift would mix production timing with product fate, which isn’t how disposition is assessed. Recording per producer wouldn’t reflect the specific product batch, and recording individually would be unwieldy with high-volume poultry. So the lot-level approach best represents how poultry products are grouped and traced through disposition decisions.
