    Abstract:

    Specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chicken is the only recognized laboratory terrain poultry animal, and SPFchicken embryos are a major production and verification material for almost all poultry and some human and livestockvaccines. A series of quality standards on the microbiology, genetics, and formula feed as well as breeding and managementof SPF chicken have been established and implemented recently. This paper introduces SPF chicken quality-relatedstandards on microbiology, genetics, formula feed, breeding, care, and transport, including several sets of nationalstandards, group standards, and local standards. We hope that this paper provides a useful reference for SPF chicken producers and users.
