I honestly don't know what it costs to have done here. It's legal here to test your own birds if you do the class and pass the test, so that's what I did. I had to buy the stuff to do it with, but I figure in the long run it will be worth it. I'm slowly getting the testing done now that it's cooling off. Was not a job I wanted to tackle when it was hot and humid out!
I do think it gives people a false sense of security tho in that it varies from state to state what you're required to test for other than the base pullorium and typhoid. NPIP certified does not necessarily mean disease free.
