Testing via Mail

[FARMminiature]

Is there a website that allows me to annually test my birds by sending samples through the mail? If not, can someone help give me a direct link to get my farm NPIP through Oklahoma?

You have to have an NPIP person come to the property to do the testing.

Some of the state labs will do fecal tests (worms, coccidiae) and there are private labs that will do PCR tests for viral diseases like Mareks.

How can I find a NPIP person to come out?

Your university extension office should be able to guide you.

The only approved lab in Oklahoma for NPIP testing is the Oklahoma State University lab. If you contact the lab they should be able to help you out. Their information is:

Oklahoma State University
Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory

You can get a pcr blood test for Mareks from RAL lab that you collect at home from a trimmed toenail or other blood specimen. Zoologix lab in California will send swabs to test for up to 8 respiratory diseases. Testing for all birds would be expensive, and probably better to check with your state NPIP person. Here are links for the labs above:
