Susan Mouw:
After a few emails back and forth to our State AI Inspector and our State NPIP Coordinator, as well as to Mark East, here is a clarification on the NPIP/AI requirements:

If you are NPIP/AI certified clean (a participant in the NPIP program, have your property inspected once a year, and have P/T tests performed annually and AI tests performed every six months), you do not have to have your birds AI tested within 20 days of the show!  You do need to bring your most recent test results, your NPIP card, and make sure all birds being shown have NPIP bands - either wing or leg bands.

Here are the emails (the relevent ones):

Hi Mark

I contacted our State Tester, Bradford Smith, about getting my birds re-tested before the show who, in turn, contacted our NPIP State Coordinator, Dr. Julie Helms.  I've attached her reply below.  Since I am NPIP and AI Clean, I should not need to get my birds re-tested (My annual inspection was done in September and I test for AI every six months).

Please confirm that I will be able to show my birds at Forsyth Fowl Fanciers with the proper documentation.

Thank you

Susan,

You are already NPIP Pullorum and AI Clean – you do not need to retest for AI.  Entrance into the state of NC requires either NPIP AI Clean or individually tested within 3 weeks of the show.

This is why you are AI Clean – to make it easier.

Bring your NPIP Flock card – and originally Pullorum test sheet – and AI lab results paper to show them.

If the show people fuss because you didn’t do it within 3 weeks – tell them you are NPIP AI Clean which means you are good for 6 months after your last AI test.  And they can call the NC NPIP people to confirm about the NPIP AI Clean rules.  Just in case they do not understand NPIP testing.

Hey Susan
I agree that you will not have to get your birds tested at our show. I had the Dept of ag guys at the house today and they read your emails and they agree with us too! They said for you to be sure that you bring your paperwork and be sure all your birds are banded.  I look forward to meeting you at the show.
Mark

Susan Mouw:
Just emailed my entries to Mark :)

Don:
The show is just next Saturday, so send your entries in to Mark East by email this weekend.  It would be great to have some new folks showing AMs this year.  But even if you can't show, come on out and enjoy the fellowship and talk Ameraucanas.  I know that Susan, Maggie and Jeff and Cheryl are planning to make the trip.  We even hear rumors that a couple of folks from TX are going to make an appearance. And the club always has a great concession stand with homemade baked goods and even homemade chili or Pintos and Hot dogs too.    Hope you can make it out.
