General AEC Animal Facility Checklist - Poultry

This checklist supports AEC requirements for managing poultry facilities. It helps teams assess general facility biosecurity, housing, stocking density, feed and water supply, substrate hygiene, ventilation and ammonia control, temperature and humidity ranges, and environmental enrichment. Sections cover bird houses, grow out sheds, cage units, isolator rooms, feed rooms, and multiple incubator and laboratory areas. It also prompts for training and qualifications, emergency contacts, record keeping, monitoring of procedures, and action items to close gaps. Use it to improve animal welfare, compliance, and operational consistency across poultry operations.
