can anyone give me some tips?
Jean:
Apparently they do not know what they are talking about. Just got off the phone with a Ms. Powell at NC Dept of Ag and she said no laws about MG vaccine and you can call her to confirm.

I have a book of all 50 States and their import regulations, it\'s not yet complete, but I have most of the information I need to ship chicks legally into other States.

The vaccines are not marketed to us breeders and small time fanciers so the manufacturers don\'t care.
The waste is a shame.

Thanks, Jean. Just got off the phone with Ms. Powell. When I explained what the testers had told me, she confirmed with the poultry vet, Dr. Sarah Mason and this is what Dr. Mason said:
Killed MG vaccine is allowed. However, if you use the vaccine you have to report it to the state because, if ever tested, vaccinated birds will test positive.
I am still pressing to get something in writing, to put the question to rest for good...
Beth C:
John: That was my original plan, but the false positive thing scared me off.
Mike Gilbert:
Why not just breed for genetic resistance to MG? If adult birds are carriers it is best to expose young birds to them at an early age. They will have a mild case, develop antibodies, and generally lead healthy lives after that. Those that don\'t are candidates for culling.
