After DH, the kids and myself going through what we just did this weekend, I do NOT want to have to deal with this issue again. I'm doing everything I can to prevent it in the future. That includes only purchasing stock from MG certified sources. It seems none of the big hatcheries are certified for MG, and the list of breeders here on BYC, certified, is small as well.
I know theres always a chance wild birds can bring MG onto the property, but at least if I have all my bases covered, it will be easier to control. (MG infection was confirmed by State Lab testing last week)
Do breeders/hatcheries just not see this as a threat?
Kinda makes me wonder why more don't do this, when they already get NPIP certified.
For those that don't know what MG is, its Mycoplasma Gallisepticum
