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.
* Flock owners must endorse official certification that all poultry and birds
for exhibit originate from flocks free of evidence of contagious diseases.

Date of vaccination

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.
