NPIP Certification

Here is the latest information I found. Many of the positions had been replaced so the old list was out of date- as pertains to the representative of each state's office. Certainly hope this helps....

[Brookliner]

I live in New Hampshire and called my State Vet's office (see below):

Dr. Stephen K. Crawford, State Veterinarian, New Hampshire Dept. of Ag. & Division of Animal Industry,
P.O. Box 2042, Concord 03302-2042. Phone: (603)271-2404 , FAX: (603)271-1109.
E-mail: [email protected]

• I made an appointment for the tester to come to my house. I told them how many birds I had.
• I put my roosters (10) in cat carriers the night before so that I could easily catch them for the tester (It is easier to catch them at night).
• I cleaned all my coops

The tester came on time and we did the roosters first and then the hens. (All chickens were over 6 months in age.)

• The tester drew blood from under the wing and put it in a vial that was numbered with the leg band number for that particular bird.
• The tester put a numbered band with an individual permanent number on each chickens leg. (This is their permanent number.)
• I receive paperwork called "Leg Band Number Record of Pullorum Test" which recorded the leg band numbers and number of male and female birds.
• 10 days later I received in the mail a letter from the state vet and a card that must be shown at all Poultry Shows and Swaps.
• This is proof of testing and passing the test. The testing is for Pullorum Typhoid and Avian Influenza.

In order to be CERTIFIED I have more paperwork to fill out and send back. My tester also did an inspection of my coops so that I could apply for certification. Be sure to have them do the inspection if you are going to apply for "certification". Certification is needed if you are going to sell your birds outside your state.

To become certified I filled out form 9-5 with codes for the breeds of chickens you have (see link) http://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_health/animal_dis_spec/poultry/downloads/npip_codes.pdf
note: if you have bantams go to bantams first then breeds. The 9-5 form is available from your state vets office or where you called to make the tester appointment. You have to wait until you receive your paperwork back from the State vet to apply for certification. they will email you the 9-5 form. You them go to the aphis web site via the link above to get the codes. I copied and pasted them from the aphis page to the 9-5 form. I printed one for my records and emailed the completed form back to the person who sent it. I received my certification number by email the next day.

I was very easy to do. I would advise all backyard flocks to at least go through the process of testing. It helps your state keep track of the instances of Pullorum Typhoid and Avian Influenza in your state.

 

[Jenikate]

What is the cost to do this in NH?

 

[sweetmsmisty98]

Thank you for the info. I am going to look into this for WA

 

[Brookliner]

What is the cost to do this in NH?

In NH it was FREE for the Pullorum Typhoid and Avian Influenza test. I believe that for a fee they can also test for MS & MG

If you have chicks that are younger than 6 months can you get tested ? or do they just not test younger chicks? I think I am done adding to my flock so it might be time to get tested. if not this year then next for sure.

In New Hampshire they have to be older than 6 months. They do most of the testing in the spring.

Does anyone know if I can ship chickens via USPS from NC to Ga WITHOUT a NPIP Certificate?

To answer my own question...Yes. I just did. And they did not ask me anything about NPIP Cert.
