NPIP Certification Friday 11am

[DawnSuiter]

I have gotten LOTS of emails & PMs wondering how to get certified.

FIRST... contact your state rep to find out who would handle your testing. The link for state reps is here: http://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_health/animal_dis_spec/poultry/htba_part.shtml

at the APHIS website.

Can they test chicks? I have been thinking about getting mine tested. Also about how often does this disease show up? Thanks

Our agent here says they only test from 4 months and up. I was going to get all mine and my youngest ones checked. He is suppose to come tomorrow and check my hens. Jean

LOL. I didn't wear any gloves, but I learned as a young girl, poop and blood wash off! I think I read where you got covered in poop while holding yours for the test, I got lucky.. 24 birds and not pooped on once!

Suzzie, did you ever get certified and/or have more info regarding NPIP certification?
Thnx

I had been told that it costs over $300 to get certified in California.  I wrote to the Calif. Dept. of Food and Agriculture.  I got a response and now I am contacting the Calif. Poultry Health Board for further
tions on the NPIP program, please contact Monica Della Maggiore at 209-576-6355.
