Two notable updates to the animal health requirements for the 2025 fair season include:
Radio frequency identification, commonly referred to as “840 RFID tags,” for all cattle.
HPAI test for each lactating dairy heifer/cow entering any New York fair or exhibition.
The summary of interstate health requirements is also available on the website.
You should provide this information to your out of state exhibitors including petting zoos, rodeos, racing pigs, circuses, etc. to help avoid problems at fair time.
You will also find a listing for poultry pullorum clinics on our website that will be updated regularly as the information becomes available.
New for 2025 is emergency animal disease regulations for state and county fairs.
These regulations apply to both in state and out of state exhibitors.
This document is to help exhibitors clearly understand the additional regulations that must be met due to the ongoing Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) situation occurring in both poultry and cattle.
Representatives of the Division of Animal Industry will be in contact with their assigned fairs to review these requirements and address any concerns prior to the fair.
Questions can also be directed to 518-457-3502 or dai@agriculture.ny.gov
