Poultry CAFOs

 
A poultry facility is considered a Confined Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) if it is captively raising a large number of birds.  These facilities are regulated under IDAPA 02.04.32 “Rules Governing Poultry Operations” and require a permit issued by the Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA).  Applications for any facility requiring a permit can be submitted to ISDA by email, mail, or fax.
