Avain Influenza

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows how the AI test are done on ducks, if there is a fee? Where I have to go to get it done? If there are any problems that can occur after testing with the duck? What a flock number is or where I can find a leg band? I am located in NY. I show some of my birds and I am showing in PA in Jan. PA has alot more rules for showing birds then NY. I have shown my birds in past but I haven't had to do any of these things in past.

If you're applying for the NPIP program in New York, AI testing is free. They swab the vents of the ducks, then send the swabs out for testing and let you know the results.

When swabing the vent, is It bad? For example are there any problems that can occur like reproductive issues or any issues at all?

A vent swab is harmless.
