Based on what little I know regarding all this, I have to assume things at this point since I have not talked to anyone yet. According to the website (AGI.alabama.gov/NPIP), I assume Alabama initially tests all birds for the following: Salmonella pullorum, Salmonella typhoid, Salmonella enteriditis, Mycoplasma gallisepticum, Mycoplasma synoviae, and Avian Influenza.Do you know what your state tests for for the NPIP?
Most states only test for Pullorum Typhoid...more states are starting to test for other things too.
Each subsequent year, a sample of birds will be tested for Salmonella pullorum, Salmonella typhoid, and Avian Influenza. If I want an “Avian Influenza clean” classification, my birds would be tested every 6 months.
I am going to call Monday and see what they say.
