Owners are responsible for the feeding and care of their own animals.
Exhibitors must enter three or more animals to be eligible for weekly pass.
HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
Pennsylvania Bureau of Animal Industry regulations require that fair or show
secretaries submit an AAI–34 (Entry Report Form for Fair and Show Secretaries)
listing all expected poultry entrants no less than 10 days before the show.
Regulations also require that the. Bureau of Animal Industry must be notified of
planned bird shows (Pigeon, canary, parakeet, etc.) at least 30 days prior to
the show date. The fair secretary should submit an AAI–48 (Bird Show
Notification Form) giving the date and location of the show.
Bird Testing is
required. Due to budget cuts the Dept of Ag is charging for the bird tests
this year.
* Flock owners must endorse official certification that all poultry and birds
for exhibit originate from flocks free of evidence of contagious diseases.
** Pennsylvania chickens must be from home flocks vaccinated for
laryngotracheitis (LT) no more than one year, and no less than 30 days, before
opening date. LT Vent Brush vaccine must never be used.
Date of vaccination
Vaccine Brand Name
Lot No.
Save vaccine box at home for your permanent record of brand and lot number.
Use vaccine for intranasal (in) or intracular (io) administration only.
Since all birds returned from the show are potential sources of infection to
other birds, they should be isolated immediately after their return, separate
and apart from all other birds. This isolation should be maintained
indefinitely, if possible, or at least until it has been established that the
birds are not carriers of disease-reproducing agents as may be determined by
exposure of a few susceptible birds to direct contact with them.
Entry Requirements
1. One entry in each class per individual.
2. Any Breed recognized by Poultry Association will be accepted.
3.
Entry Fee $1.00
4. Meat poultry will be weighed in at time of entry.
One pair per person. Meat birds will be banded at time of normal poultry
testing in July. A maximum of 6 birds may be banded per person. The
meat poultry sale is not sponsored by the Jr Livestock Sale and therefore does
not impact the number of animals allowed to be sold per exhibitor.
County entries will be entered first. Out-of-county entries will be taken on standby basis.
