ARKANSAS: Anyone NPIP certified ?

Quote:

The $7 covers 4 swaps - if they have to use more than it is another $7.

Also I forgot to add that it is also .15 cents for band - so you are looking at a total of .30 cents per bird

The first year of participation they will test 100% of breeder birds and 10% of non-breeders over 4 months of age. Bands will be applied at the discretion of the Livestock Inspector in order to maintain identity of the bird in the event a reactor bird is found. Swabbing of the incubator will also be performed at the discretion of the inspector.

Oh, I see--they swab your incubators in 4 places. Ah. I wonder how many inspectors we have in Arkansas?

Sorry, can't answer that one.

WE are and I have a cute little card to carry in my wallet. Once registered our state also has a breeders list which they send out and you put your breeds of fowl on there. Ours was done by a state vet and only cost $25 for our large flock, well worth the investment and time. They take a needle and draw blood samples from each bird and test it, time and effort was really minimal. Best to have birds caught clean and ready when they get there, makes it all go by fast and easier to keep who has been done and who as not been done seperated. I enjoyed speaking with the vet about others and their farms around my area. They are very good not to go to other farms before coming to yours...at least this vet was. He even had plastic boot covers for his boots so not to bring in anything or take anything out. I was impressed with the whole process. We show our birds so we need this to be able to do so and to sell legally.

What type of birds do you have? Thanks for the info.

Great info. I am calling in the morning. I too want to get NPIP certified. I also want to find out how to buy the stuff I need to give my baby chicks their Mereks shot.

Hello,

See you're from Delight. My dad grew up there and I was born in Prescott.
Last I knew I still had a little family left in Delight.

I band all my chicks at a few weeks old, I keep records on all my hatches, so if they are already banded they can use that number and don't have to pay the extra, saves a bit. Also you don't have to be NPIP to ship eggs but you will be able to more people then. Also remember that each new bird you add to your flock has to be tested clean as well, so make sure you either get a certificate with it or know someone who can test it. I am a certified tester as well.
