Section XXI-533 - Admittance of Poultry to Fairs, Livestock and Poultry Shows, Trade Days and Swap Meets (Formerly section 703)

A. All poultry of Louisiana origin going to Louisiana fairs, livestock and poultry shows, trade meets, and swap meets shall be accompanied by a Form VS 9-2 or CVI, indicating the flock of origin is a participant under the NPIP and has tested free of Salmonella pullorum (pullorum) and Salmonella gallinarum (typhoid). If the flock of origin is not a participant under the NPIP, the birds of breeding age must be accompanied by a Form VS 9-2 or CVI indicating the birds were tested negative for pullorum/typhoid (P/T) within 60 days prior to admittance to in-state fairs, livestock and poultry shows, trade days, or swap meets. These birds must have leg or wing band identification or a group/lot identification number recorded on a CVI.

B. All poultry from states other than Louisiana, going to Louisiana fairs, livestock and poultry shows, trade meets, and swap meets shall be accompanied by a Form VS 9-2, 9-3, or CVI indicating the flock of origin is a participant under the NPIP and has tested free of Salmonella pullorum (pullorum) and Salmonella gallinarum (typhoid). If the flock of origin is not a participant under the NPIP, the birds of breeding age must be accompanied by a Form VS 9-2, 9-3, or CVI indicating the birds were tested negative for pullorum/typhoid (P/T) within 30 days prior to admittance to Louisiana fairs, livestock and poultry shows, trade days, or swap meets. These birds must have leg or wing band identification or a group/lot identification number recorded on a CVI.

C. All sanctioned American Poultry Association and American Bantam Association shows held in Louisiana may provide a licensed, accredited private veterinarian to inspect birds at coop-in at these shows, at the expense of the sponsoring club, in lieu of a CVI. They must show proof of test negative status for P/T as stated in Subsection A of this Section. Any bird showing signs of illness will be quarantined or barred from entry if suspected to have a contagious disease (at the sole discretion of the veterinarian). No bird without proof of negative P/T status will be allowed to show. The event sponsor should call the state veterinarian office at (225) 925-3980 to ensure there are no travel restrictions for entry into Louisiana.
