Showing in-state in Connecticut

[Jowsi002]

It’s been probably a decade or two since I’ve entered a show
It’s coming up on show season here and my son is showing interest in entering some of his ducks. I tried to look into the state testing requirements, I remember the state vet having to take blood, a feather and banding each of my chickens I would want to show, but the only information I could find gives me questions.

I can’t determine if they are saying that I need to have the state vet come out and band/ID his ducks or if they just need to have a form of identification and I can skip the vet visit.

I read this as you need to have them tested for Salmonella pullorum with in a year of the show date. Some shows have testers on site.
Contact the show and ask them.

1. Health certificates signed by an accredited veterinarian and other required testing will be valid for the entire 2023 show season. If travelling to multiple New England States for exhibition, see the Memorandum - LivestockHealth Certificates for the 2023 Show Season, for additional requirements.
