Pollorum Testing
- ALL poultry to be exhibited on the Clermont County Fairgrounds must be pullorum tested, except for the market chickens and market turkeys purchased through the Clermont County Junior Fair Board unless they are co-mingled with other poultry.
- This is because market poultry purchased through the Junior Fair Board was purchased through a NPIP certified hatchery.
- ALL poultry means that if you have 5 birds at home and you’re not sure which one you’re bringing to fair, then ALL 5 MUST be tested.
- This is for fancy chickens and game birds, as well as birds that have been co-mingling with other birds. See the Ohio State University Extension Office for more information. This includes exhibiting flocks.
- This means that if market poultry purchased through the Junior Fair Board are co-mingled with other birds they need to be tested.
- This means all breeding, exhibition, fancy, guinea, pheasants, and quail must be tested.
- No birds may be exhibited at the fair without proof of a negative pullorum test performed within 60 days.
- Turkeys must be tested by a licensed veterinarian more than two months prior to the fair check-in. If the test must be sent to Columbus for the results, the exhibitor must pay the cost.
