Health Requirements for Livestock

Originating from Minnesota:
Livestock known by the exhibitor to have an infectious,
communicable disease or to have been exposed to an
infectious, communicable disease or to be from a quarantined
herd may not be entered in an exhibition.
All livestock will be inspected by the official veterinarian on
the opening date of the exhibition. The official veterinarian
will order the immediate removal to a quarantine facility or
removal from the exhibition premises of any livestock with
symptoms of infectious or communicable disease. Animals
placed in a quarantine facility must remain there until
removed from the exhibition premises. They may not enter
a show ring. This includes livestock with warts or ringworm
or abscess. A statement from a veterinarian that an animal is
being treated for these diseases is not acceptable.
All testing must be conducted prior to the exhibition and a
record of the test results on a test chart or Intrastate Health
Certificate must accompany the tested animals.
Cattle: The Minnesota Board of Animal Health is requiring
that ALL cattle being exhibited be identified with an official
form of ID. This is a new expectation brought about by the
TB outbreak Minnesota experienced a few years back. This
system is designed to track the basic premise or origin of a
said animal. The official information for these expectations
can be viewed at the following website: http://mn.gov/bah/
cattle.html
This will take you to the Board of Animal Health Website
the page is entitled Exhibition of Livestock in Minnesota.
Next, click on Cattle Show. This click will bring up a pop
up that says Cattle must be officially identified. Click on
cattle identified. This will bring up a fact sheet titled Official
Identification for Cattle and Bison. It includes pictures and
supporting wording indicating the kinds of IDs that are
acceptable for the Board of Animal Health ID expectations.
They will be in place for all cattle that will move from one site
to another, such as to the county or state fair.
giving birth may be exhibited without prior approval from

the Board.
Swine: Swine must be officially identified and must:
have had a negative official pseudorabies test conducted
within 30 days prior to the opening date of the exhibitions;
or
originate directly from a qualified pseudorabies - negative
herd; or
originate directly from a Stage IV or V county or area. All
50 states are currently pseudorabies Stage V (Pseudorabies
Free Status).
Horses: All horses must be negative to an official test for
Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) within 12 months prior to
the opening date of the exhibition. A test is not required for
sucking foals accompanying a negative dam. Note: 4-H also
requires a negative Coggins test.
Rabbits: Rabbits will be checked upon arrival for snuffles,
ear mites, and general health. Rabbits found with any of the
above health concerns will be sent home.

Exhibitions of Birds Cancelled for 2015 Season

Fairs, swap meets, exotic sales and petting zoos will not include birds
ST. PAUL The Minnesota Board of Animal Health today announced its directive to cancel all bird exhibitions at county fairs,
the State Fair, and other gatherings of birds. The Boards directive is effective through the end of 2015 and also prohibits birds from
being included in swap meets, exotic sales, and petting zoos.
Since March 5, 2015, nearly 90 Minnesota farms have been impacted by H5N2 highly-pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). The
purpose of the Boards directive is to minimize the risk of potential further spread of the virus. The risk to the public related to H5N2
HPAI is very low and there is no food safety concern.
Taking this step makes sense, said Dr. Beth Thompson, assistant director of the Minnesota Board of Animal Health. We need
to do everything possible to get rid of this virus and preventing the commingling of birds from different farms is one way to do that.
Animal health officials met with leadership of the Minnesota State Fair and University of Minnesota Extension earlier this week
to discuss the situation.
This is a critical time for Minnesotas poultry industry, and well do whatever it takes to help, said State Fair General Manager
Jerry Hammer. The Board of Animal Health has absolutely made the right decision. Well use this as an opportunity to further
educate people about the challenges of food production.
University of Minnesota Extension 4-Hs priority is youth and their learning experiences, said Brad Rugg, Extension 4-H and
State Fair and Animal Science program director. Some 4-Hers will be disappointed that they wont be able to show their poultry
projects at fairs this summer, but were exploring alternate learning opportunities to offer them at fairs and will share more details
as plans develop. Part of our job developing the next generation of agriculture leaders includes teaching youth best practices to
ensure the health and safety of the animals they raise, and this is that learning being put into action in the real world.
Minnesotas poultry industry has experienced the largest impact as a result of HPAI. Steve Olson, executive director of the
Minnesota Turkey Growers Association and Chicken and Egg Association of Minnesota said, We know the decision to halt poultry
exhibitions at our county fairs and the Minnesota State Fair was not an easy one to make. This certainly affects the 4-H kids who
plan for their projects all year long, and also means fewer opportunities for fairgoers across the state to learn about raising poultry.
However, this is the right decision because whats most important at this point is protecting the health and well-being of the birds
that are being raised by 4-Hers, FFA members, and Minnesotas poultry farmers.
