21—64.35 (163) Health requirements for exhibition of livestock, poultry and birds at county exhibitions. Each county fair shall have an official veterinarian who will inspect all livestock, poultry and birds when they are unloaded or shortly thereafter. No Certificate of Veterinary Inspection will be required on livestock, poultry and birds exhibited at a county 4-H or FFA show. Quarantined animals or animals from quarantined herds cannot be exhibited. Evidence of warts, ringworm, footrot, pinkeye, draining abscesses or any other contagious or infectious condition will eliminate the animal from the show.
	 64.35(1) Swine. Swine exhibitors shall present to the veterinarian the following: a signed affidavit stating that the swine did not originate from a quarantined herd and that, to the best of the exhibitor’s knowledge, swine dysentery has not been in evidence in the exhibitor’s herd for the past 12 months; and, for swine originating from a Stage IV or lower-status county, a record of a negative pseudorabies test performed within 30 days before the exhibition, subject to 64.35(2). No pseudorabies testing is required for swine that originate from a Stage V county.
	 64.35(2) Exceptions. No testing for pseudorabies shall be required at an exhibition that involves only market classes of swine, provided the animals are consigned directly to a slaughter establishment from the exhibition. The site from which the exhibited swine originate must have a current pseudorabies monitored status, or the exhibited swine must originate from a Stage IV or higher-status county. Swine leaving the exhibition from a market class must be consigned and move directly to a slaughtering establishment. All market swine from Stage II counties must be vaccinated against pseudorabies.
	 64.35(3) Dogs and cats. All dogs and cats exhibited in county exhibitions must have a current, official rabies certification.
	 64.35(4) Poultry and birds. Except as provided in this subrule, all poultry exhibited must come from U.S. pullorum-typhoid clean or equivalent flocks; or have had a negative pullorum-typhoid test performed within 90 days of exhibition by an authorized tester. An approved certificate verifying this status shall accompany the exhibit.
However, no testing for salmonella pullorum-typhoid shall be required for “market classes” of poultry, if the poultry are consigned to a slaughter establishment directly from the exhibition. Poultry exhibited in these “market classes” shall be maintained separate and apart from poultry not exempted from the testing requirements. Separate and apart shall include both of the following: holding poultry so that neither poultry nor organic material originating from the poultry has physical contact with other poultry; and poultry exhibited in “market classes” shall be maintained in enclosures at least ten feet apart or separated by an eight-foot high solid partition from all other poultry. Poultry exhibited in “market classes” shall be so declared at the time of entry into this exhibition or before.
All enclosures maintaining poultry shall be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
	 64.35(5) Sheep and goats. All sexually intact sheep must have an individual scrapie flock of origin identification tag. All sexually intact goats must have an individual scrapie flock of origin identification tag or an official registered tattoo.
	 64.35(6) Cervidae. Native Iowa Cervidae from a herd not under quarantine may be exhibited without additional testing for brucellosis or tuberculosis. CWD susceptible Cervidae intended for exhibition must originate from a herd that has completed at least one year in the CWD monitoring program. Native Iowa Cervidae may be exhibited without other testing requirements when the Cervidae are accompanied by a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection that lists individual official identification and the monitored CWD cervid herd number or certified CWD herd number for CWD susceptible Cervidae, including the status level and anniversary date, and contains the following statement:
“All Cervidae listed on this certificate have been part of the herd of origin for at least one year or were natural additions to the herd. There has been no diagnosis, sign, or epidemiological evidence of chronic wasting disease in this herd for the past year.”
	 64.35(7) Show veterinarian. The decision of the show veterinarian shall be final.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code sections 163.1 and 163.14.
