DEPT.  7   -  POULTRY

 

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS

Poultry includes all species of fowl, wild and domestic which includes the Peacock family

 

All poultry and waterfowl must originate from flocks designated as U.S. Pullorum-Typhoid Clean or NPIP Affiliate flock and accompanied by a NPIP certificate or originate from a Wisconsin Tested Flock or Wisconsin Associate Flock and be accompanied by an enrollment certificate provided by the department certifying that they are a Wisconsin Tested Flock or Wisconsin Associate Flock.  Sexually mature birds that do not meet these requirements may qualify with documentation of a negative test for pullorum-typhoid (and Mycoplasma gallisepticum for turkeys) conducted within 90 days prior to arrival at the exhibition, and be individually identified with a wing band or leg band.  Turkeys that are not going directly to slaughter may not be commingled with other poultry.  This may be accomplished by separate housing or controlling the air flow or placement and spacing to prevent movement of M. gallisepticum from other poultry to the turkeys.  The fair veterinarian should make this decision.

 

1. All exhibitors are required to check in at the poultry building for a health check and submit the Pullorum-Typhoid free documentation prior to caging any bird on the premises.

2. Any bird appearing unhealthy or having parasites (mites, fecal worms, etc.) or without correct Pullorum paperwork will be refused entry.  Any birds exhibiting signs of ill health during the fair will be removed and disqualified.

3. All poultry (includes waterfowl) must demonstrate one of the following:

  •  
    • Originate from flocks designated as U.S.Pullorum-Typhoid Clean or NPIP Affiliate flock and accompanied by an NPIP certificate.  Request an originating flock pullorum free certification document when purchasing chicks.
    • Originate from a Wisconsin Tested Flock or Wisconsin Associate Flock and be accompanied by the corresponding enrollment certificate for the current year.
    • Be accompanied by documentation from a Wisconsin Certified Tester indicating each individual mature bird, identified with a band or tag, has been tested and found negative for pullorum-typhoid (and Mycoplasma Gallisepticum for turkeys) within the last 90 days.

4. Turkeys now require a blood draw sent to the Barron or other qualified lab to be tested for both Pullorum and M. Gallisepticum.  The draw should be done by a Wisconsin Certified Tester.  Results take 2 weeks.  There is a lab charge involved.

 

5. Immature birds cannot be tested and must originate from a tested flock.  All testing and documentation must be completed before entry day.  If you have questions or need testing, contact one of the following people:
