NPIP ????'s new question :-)

[greathorse]

Hmmm now I am wondering if my NPIP cert will allow me to ship chicks and eggs. I told them that I wanted my flock certified and that I wanted to do so, in the event my breeding allowed me to offer eggs or chicks. I am now wondering if I needed to tell them I needed a hatchery certified.

I guess we shall see. Any other Coloradans ship Chicks and what is required.

As long as you are certified, I am sure you can still ship chicks. You need to chick with the State you are shipping to though, if you need a permit. Some States require a special permit and further testing.

I have a question... is there a minimum number of birds you must own to be tested?

Some of the states that I know of that need permits are:

Minnesota - just fill out some paperwork and they send you the yearly permit

Nebraska - just fill out some paperwork and they send you the yearly permit

Georgia - just fill out some paperwork and they send you the yearly permit

Missouri - just fill out some paperwork and they send you the yearly permit

Texas - you have to get a permit everytime you ship eggs or chicks and must be AI clean

Utah - you must be AI and MS & MG free to ship anything into the State

Virginia - you must be AI and MS & MG free to ship anything into the State

West Virginia - you must be AI and MS & MG free to ship anything into the State

The Federal Plan says 10% of the birds you own or a minimum of 30. I would think if you own less they would test them all.

Washington raised the number to 25%.

I only have 6 birds but I think it is such a neat program I would love to be part of it.

How do you suppose a Federal program ended up with so many different levels of administration. I wonder if it is funded by the Feds, but each state then has the ability to administer as they see fit? I am not whipping up a complaint just asking the question.

I was very impressed here with how promptly and effeciently they handled my testing etc. I also wonder if our University which has a good vet program kicks in a bit as well. These folks all work out of the CSU office.
