Is NPIP Important?

The program is in place to prevent the spread of disease. Pullorum and Typhoid testing is the basis of the NPIP program, but many other tests and certifications are offered under the program. P-T testing is normally required for public shows as well as to move them across state lines. The testing can be done as often as you feel necessary. Most fairs require the birds to have been tested within the last 90 days. Also, clean stock would be a selling point for anyone in the business of selling live poultry and could be required by state regulations.

Actually, that depends on the part of the country. Out west there are no testing requirements for exhibition except in Oregon (pretty sure it's Oregon, not Washington, but one of those two). Back east many states require testing for exhibition. Most, but not all states require testing for import.
