CVI is Mereks vaccination
http://www.drugs.com/vet/marek-s-disease-vaccine-rispens-cvi-988-strain-fc-126-strain.html

Some states do require that the chicks be vaccinates some states dont.
I have to do a bit of digging to see if its required after a certain age in older poultry.

From what i learned about the mereks vac, you do not need to give it to adults, 1 it does not work on adults only on chicks.
After about 4 months old the young they dont attend to get mereks, chicks are the ones who come down with the mereks.
From what i have learned about it.

I thought Laura meant a certified vet certificate?

If it's the Marek's vax that's a big problem with anyone who hatches at home. It has to be given within 24 hours of hatch. It also isn't cost effective if you're hatching small numbers of chicks.

Thanks guys for clearing that up.

So for the swaps most out of State sellers are set from 4 weeks to 5 months as long as they are tested and have the entry permit. Not a problem already working on the A-I testing.

After 5 months of age they require a CVI too, that will be a little more of a problem for out of State people that show their birds, you figure most ALL birds taken to shows are over 5 months of age and she never takes the same one to every show and all the Vet is going to be able to do is look at the bird and at the time of the check say it's healthy and shows no signs of disease, and charge you a $25.00 per bird fee, plus $20.00 because it needs to be written on the State Health Cert. (just going on what we paid for puppies traveling out of State) plus the office call .... Maybe that one could be worked on too, epecially for a one day show. If the tests are all negative and fine, in State birds are not any more at risk at getting something from an out of State bird than they would be if the bird was in State and had upper resp., or any thing else airbourne... It's not like the "show birds" are going to stay there, some do sell them out of their cages and than they would fall under the sales part of the law. Why have the CVI on show birds if it's good for a year, wouldn't the test cover that?? This one just doesn't make sence to me

Good thing there are no NH shows until fall. We really look forward to Deerfield every year.

OK. I'm game who do I write to?

ya, how long have you been going to deerfield? the people putting on the show ask you for npip and ?> there are people who come from all around and have you ever heard of needing this cvi? i showed my silkie in maine, they asked for my npip card thats it.

We have been going to Deerfield for the past 3 years and all we show is our NPIP card from Maine and it has been fine, we have even set up and sold there. Lots of people from Maine go every year, it's our big end of year get together...

Yes, I meant the certificate of veterinary inspection, sorry about that

Actually, from what I've learned Marek's vaccs are not recommended for small back yard flocks, because of the side affects from the Vacc. and as Cindy said for a back yard flock it isn't cost effective.
