Which method is NOT used to enter poultry dispositions into PHIS?

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

Answer: (D)

Dispositions in PHIS are recorded at batch or group levels that reflect how poultry moves through processing and where traceability is most practical. You enter disposition data by the shift, by the lot, or by the producer because these units align with how work is organized on the line, how lots are tracked, and how origin information is captured. Recording per unit would require logging every single bird’s fate, which is not feasible in a high-volume processing environment and isn’t how PHIS is structured for data analysis and traceability. Therefore, entering dispositions individually is not used.
