has been altered by anyone other than the issuing veterinarian.
Animals demonstrating clinical signs or other evidence of infectious, contagious or
communicable diseases shall not be allowed on the fairgrounds during a fair.
Representatives of the Commissioner may deny admission to or require removal from the
fair premises, or require the segregation of any animal showing signs of or exposed to
any infectious, contagious or communicable disease.
NOTE: The fair board of directors has the authority to reject unworthy or unsightly
exhibits for reasons other than infectious, contagious or communicable disease (Part
350.10). The state veterinarian or animal health inspector will bring questionable exhibits
to the attention of the fair board.

The CVI must be issued by a Category 2 accredited veterinarian.
All animals must be officially identified. All manmade ID must be recorded.
Refer to Animal Identification section below for more information.
Only one species is allowed per certificate.
The type and duration of certificate required depends on the origin of the livestock.

Out of State Origin Livestock:
• All animals entering New York State must satisfy import health and test requirements for
that species and be accompanied by a valid interstate CVI.
The interstate CVI is valid
for 30 days from the date of CVI inspection. During the fair season (July 1 through Labor
Day) valid CVI’s can be used multiple times for entrance into fairs. The initial entrance
into a fair must be within 30 days of the date of CVI inspection. In order for the CVI to be
used for a later fair, it must be dated and initialed by a state official noting the location of
the initial fair. A change in health status or eligibility of an animal necessitates the
generation of a new CVI.
Questions regarding import requirements should be directed to the Division of Animal Industry at
518-457-3971, or at the division’s import/export homepage:
http://www.agriculture.ny.gov/AI/import_export.html
Animal Identification
• Cattle, sheep, goats, swine, and deer/elk must be identified by USDA approved official
identification. Cattle, swine and deer/elk must be identified by official ear tag. Sheep and
goats must be identified by official scrapie identification (see sheep and goat sections
below).
• Llamas and alpacas must be identified by official ear tag or microchip.
• Misc. ruminants must be identified by unique eartag or microchip.
• A complete written description is sufficient identification for horses entering New York
accompanied by a CVI. The description must match the EIA test record. Horse sketches
and descriptions should reference color pattern, hair whorls, chestnuts, scars and other
markings as necessary to uniquely identify the horse. Tattoos and microchips if any
should be included. “Bay, no markings” is not an acceptable description for a CVI or EIA
test record.
• NOTE: If you are exhibiting animals identified by microchip a working reader must be
supplied by the exhibitor.
• For questions on animal identification please contact your veterinarian or our office at
518-457-3502.
Rabies Vaccination
• Rabies vaccination is required for all species for which there is a USDA licensed vaccine
available (cattle, horses, sheep, dog, cat, ferret) and that are 4 months of age or older on
the date of admission to the fair.
• Vaccine must have been administered within the past 12 months. The exception is Imrab
LA vaccine used in sheep which protects for 3 years after the second annual vaccination
(consult your veterinarian).
• The rabies vaccination requirement must be met on the day of admission even if the
animal was previously admitted to a fair when too young to vaccinate.
• NOTE: Individual fairs can require animals for which there is no approved rabies vaccine
to be vaccinated for rabies. The requirements outlined above would apply. The fair is
responsible for notifying exhibitors. The New York State Fair requires rabies vaccination
for all livestock species entering the grounds.
7
Acceptable Proof of Rabies Vaccination
• Acceptable proof of rabies vaccination must include a signed written statement from the
veterinarian administering the vaccine or a valid certificate of veterinary inspection that
has the vaccination listed and is signed by the Category 2 accredited veterinarian.
• Acceptable proof of rabies vaccination must include the name of the product used, the
date of administration and the duration of immunity if longer than one year.
• If the statement of rabies vaccination is included on an EIA test record, it must be signed
separately in addition to the required EIA test record signature.
• NOTE: Rabies titers are not acceptable proof of rabies protection and cannot be used to
meet entry requirements.
• Acceptable proof of vaccination for dogs is a valid vaccination certificate or a copy of the
dog license that contains the rabies vaccination information.
BVD-PI Testing
All cattle, llamas and alpacas exhibited at NY county fairs or the State Fair must be
negative to an approved test appropriate to detect Bovine Viral Diarrhea persistent
infection (BVD-PI). The testing veterinarian is responsible to make sure the proper test is
conducted. This is a once in a lifetime test that must be reported on the required
certificate of veterinary inspection. The issuing veterinarian is responsible for verifying
the validity of the test, the identification of the animal and recording the test date on the
CVI. If a previous test is not verifiable the test must be repeated.
Cleaning and Disinfection
All buildings on the fairgrounds housing animals must be cleaned and disinfected prior to
the opening of the fair and between groups of animals when housing is rotated (Section
50.2 of Agriculture and Market regulations).
Kidding and Lambing
• Due to the concern about the spread of scrapie, any sheep or goats that are exhibited at
a county fair that have recently given birth or have a vaginal discharge, will be ordered
removed along with their offspring.
• The causative agent for scrapie may be present in high concentration in fluids associated
with birth and the risk of transmission is considered highest at that time.
Commingling of Sheep and Cattle
Due to the potential spread of malignant catarrhal fever from sheep to cattle, it is strongly
recommended that cattle be kept separate from sheep.
Commingling of Swine and Poultry
Due to the potential spread of influenza viruses it is recommended that swine and poultry
be housed in separate locations.
Isolation on Returning Home
The owner or custodian shall keep show animals biologically separate from the herd or
flock for a period of at least two weeks after returning to the premises of origin. If any
8
illness is noted in the exhibition animals the owner should contact their veterinarian
immediately.

Exhibitor Prefair Guidelines
Cattle, Sheep, Goats, Swine, Llamas and Alpacas, Cervids, Misc. Ruminants
• Review the animal health requirements booklet including information for your species
before your veterinarian arrives to inspect your animals. If you have any questions ask.
• Your veterinarian is responsible for inspecting your animals and completing the certificate
of veterinary inspection (CVI). Call early to avoid the last minute rush when mistakes are
made and there is no time to correct.
• Make sure official eartags are present on cattle and swine and USDA approved scrapie
ID is in place on sheep and goats.
• Llamas and alpacas require a microchip or eartag. If a microchip is utilized make sure the
veterinarian confirms the microchip ID or places one.
• ALL IDENTIFICATION MUST BE RECORDED. Make sure it is.
• Review the CVI carefully upon receipt to make sure all the information is correct including
any required test or vaccination information.
• DO NOT stuff it in an envelope and assume all is well. The time to correct is before
pulling them out at the fair. The CVI is your document and you share responsibility if it is
incorrect.
• If you are importing livestock from out of state make sure the interstate requirements are
met and you have a valid interstate certificate of veterinary inspection.
Poultry
• Schedule pullorum flock inspection and testing well ahead of the fair if your flock is
participating in the NPIP program.

signed rabies certificate or a signed statement on the EIA test chart with the required
information (see requirements).
