HEALTH GUIDELINES FOR GOOCHLAND LIVESTOCK FAIR FOR LIVESTOCK, POULTRY AND RABBITS.

The following guidelines are provided in order to encourage good biosecurity and health management practices by fair management at this time. It is required that each animal exhibited must be accompanied by a certificate of veterinary inspection issued within the past 30 days that is signed by an accredited veterinarian and states that the animals are free of infectious and contagious diseases. All animals should be individually identified and listed on the health certificate or health check-in record. It is recommended that all animals be vaccinated in the current show year against infectious diseases following veterinary recommendations not less than 14 days prior to the show. The type of vaccine and date of administration should be noted on the health certificate. In addition to the above, the following specific recommendations should be considered: CATTLE It is important to remember that warts and ringworm are examples of infectious and contagious diseases, and that the owners are ultimately responsible for ensuring that the animals exhibited are free from these diseases. For the protection of uninfected animals, cattle exhibiting signs of these diseases should not be allowed to enter the fairgrounds. SHEEP AND GOATS All sheep and goats must be in compliance with the scrapie identification requirements, which specify that sheep and goats should be identified with USDA scrapie tags or other approved identification prior to exhibition. For the protection of uninfected animals, any animal exhibiting signs of sore mouth, ring worm (fair fungus), or foot rot should not be allowed to enter the fairgrounds. All goats, regardless of age, should be free of clinical signs of caseous lymphadenitis (CL). Animals showing clinical signs of this disease should not be allowed to enter the fairgrounds. A clinical sign of CL is defined as an abscess of the lymph nodes, whether draining or not. POULTRY All poultry entered for exhibition should appear healthy and be free from external parasites. Any bird which does not meet these standards should be immediately removed from the exhibit. All poultry shown in public exhibition in the Commonwealth of Virginia are required by law to originate from U.S. Pullorum-Typhoid Clean or equivalent flocks or have had a negative pullorum-typhoid test within 90 days of the movement to the public exhibition. We reserve the right to cancel the poultry show if issues arise regarding Avian Influenza.

Notice: Please bring animal registration papers and official vaccination list (can be obtained

from vet) to the show with you. Papers will be checked for validity and animals will be inspected to ensure the health and safety of both animals and participants.
