PHT focuses on important areas such as biosecurity, disease recognition, emergency planning and the safe and humane handling of birds before, during and after transport.
The PHT certification program was developed by Penn State University scientists, the USDA and industry specialists, and is managed by USPOULTRY. More than 1,000 Tyson Foods poultry and transportation workers have received individual PHT certification over the past year.
