NAHMS Health Management on U.S. Feedlots 2021

In light of the substantial market disruptions due to COVID-19, the original study plans for the National Animal Health Monitoring System's (NAHMS) Health Management on U.S. Feedlots 2020 Study were revisited and the study was delayed until 2021. NAHMS staff continues to consult with industry representatives and monitor market conditions to determine the best course of action regarding study plans in order to ensure the health and safety of producers, data providers, and data collectors and the quality of the data collected. We will continue to update this page as more information becomes available. Thank you for your understanding.

From March through August 2021, the USDA’s National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS), in collaboration with the National Agricultural Statistics Service, will conduct a national study focusing on cattle health and management on U.S. feedlots with at least 50 head. The NAHMS Health Management on U.S. Feedlots 2021 study is designed to provide a snapshot of current feedlot cattle health management practices. The information collected will also allow for the analysis of trends in specific topics related to cattle health, based on previous NAHMS feedlot studies.
