It took them 4 hours to run all of the test. 30 chickens and only 10 turkeys tested. All of the Pollorum cam back negative so I have my paperwork.
The MG and AI are marked as monitored.... so no we await these test results to see what is next.
It's for typhoid pollorum (sp).... I think it's mandatory to have this if you want to ship birds across state lines (or eggs).
All in all it's a good thing to have and it's only once a year. Mine was done through the Ohio Poultry Assosiation, I'm sure each state is different but they all...
The pollorum is so easy, you could do it yourself if you had the equipment.
All they are doing is pricking the bird and rubbing it into a solution. If it stays clear your ok... if it gets a peppery look to it I guess that's bad...
Ya, I didn't realize how much blood gets everywhere. I gave them a table and they set it up in the driveway. This way nothing would get bloody except for rocks and a table I can rinse off.
They have to take 2cc of blood to do an MG test on chickens.... that's a lot of blood for a chicken don't...
I'm getting tested this morning for NPIP... it cost me $50.00 for this? Other states have to pay as well?
I'm also getting tested for AI and MG as I would like to stay MG clean.
Very professional people... What are others experiences with NPIP?
