The National Chicken Council (NCC), based in Washington, D.C., is the non-profit trade association representing the United States chicken industry. NCC is a full-service trade association that promotes and protects the interests of the chicken industry and is the industry’s voice before the United States Congress and United States federal agencies. NCC member companies include chicken producer/processors, poultry distributors, and allied industry firms. The producer/processors account for approximately 95 percent of the chickens produced in the United States. The NCC's website contains a video about biosecurity in the poultry industry and links to its own avian influenza page, and additional references regarding avian influenza on its "About the Industry" page. The industry also is sponsoring a separate website with news, information, and resource links.
