Which of the following statements best describes how poultry dispositions are entered into PHIS?

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

Answer: (B)

Dispositions in PHIS are entered per lot because product is tracked in defined lots that represent a group processed together under uniform conditions. Applying the disposition to the entire lot ensures consistent handling, efficient data entry, and clear traceability for recalls or quality investigations. Recording dispositions per bird would be impractical and per shift or per producer would not align with the batch-based identification PHIS uses. So the best description is that dispositions are entered per lot.
