NYSCHAP
The New York State Cattle Health Assurance Program (NYSCHAP) is an integrated disease prevention program that utilizes a team of advisors to develop a farm-specific herd health plan.
Program
The objectives of this integrated herd plan are to:
- increase the herd's health, productivity and profitability
- assure food safety, public health, and consumer confidence in dairy products
- promote environmental stewardship
To enroll in NYSCHAP, contact your herd veterinarian. They will then make arrangements with the regional field veterinarian from the Department of Agriculture and Markets.
To access your herd results online, please log in.
