Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
Title: Sheep 2024 Study.
OMB Control Number: 0579-New.
Summary of Collection: The Department of Agriculture is responsible
for protecting the health of our Nation's livestock and poultry
populations by preventing the introduction and interstate spread of
contagious, infectious, or communicable diseases of livestock and
poultry and for eradicating such diseases from the United States when
feasible. In connection with this mission, the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) operates the National Health Monitoring
System (NAHMS), which collects, on a national basis, statistically
valid and scientifically sound data on the prevalence and economic
importance of livestock and poultry diseases. NAHMS will conduct a
national data collection for sheep through a national study, Sheep
2024. Collection and dissemination of animal and poultry health
information is mandated by 7 U.S.C. 8301, The Animal Health Protection
Act of 2002.
Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information
using several questionnaires and consent forms. It will use the data
collected to: (1) describe management and biosecurity practices
associated with, and producer-reported occurrence of, common
economically important diseases in sheep; (2) describe antimicrobial
stewardship on sheep operations and estimate the prevalence of enteric
microbes and antimicrobial resistance patterns; (3) describe management
practices producers use to control internal parasites and reduce
anthelmintic resistance; (4) describe changes in animal health,
nutrition, and management practices in the U.S. sheep industry from
1996-2024; and (5) provide a serologic and DNA bank for future
research.
Without the aforementioned data, the U.S.' ability to detect trends
sheep in management, production, and health status that increase or
decrease farm economy, either directly or indirectly, would be reduced
or nonexistent.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit, State
agricultural officials.
Number of Respondents: 4,970.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (one time).
Total Burden Hours: 8,000.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
