General Requirements for Exhibitors of All Animal Species

DOCUMENTATION - Continued For out of state animals, see species specific out of state requirements. Upon request, a person who exhibits livestock shall present for inspection all reports, test charts, and appropriate health certificates required to accompany the livestock. 2. A CERTIFICATE OF VETERINARY INSPECTION is required for most

entries. a. MARYLAND ENTRIES: All Maryland entries must be accompanied by a

Maryland Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) for show, except Poultry, Equine and Rabbits.

• The Maryland CVI is valid for 120 days for fairs and shows, providing that the status of the herd or animal(s) does not change.

• The Maryland CVI is a legible record, made on an official Maryland State form, issued by an accredited veterinarian, issued for animals being shown within the state and not crossing a state line, which shows that the animals listed thereon meet the health requirements of the state of Maryland.

• The Maryland CVI must be filled out, completed and signed by a Maryland accredited veterinarian using the proper selected report on the CVI form. Each animal must be properly identified on the CVI. The veterinarian must select if this document is for interstate travel, fair and exhibition season, equine, sale or other (with explanation).

• The veterinarian is required to send the original top (white) copy to MDA Head-quarters within 7 days of completion, the middle (yellow) transport copy is to be retained by the owner of the livestock and the last (pink) copy is for the veterinarian's records.

b. OUT-OF-STATE ENTRIES: All out-of-state entries must be accompanied by an

Interstate Certificate of Veterinary Inspection, except Poultry and Rabbits, or equine originating from Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia or West Virginia (equine coming from these states must have a valid Equine Infectious Anemia test report to enter).

• The Interstate CVI is valid for no more than 30 days from the date of inspection.

• An Interstate CVI must be legible, made on an official form of the state of origin, issued by an accredited veterinarian, and issued for animals being imported to this state within 30 days before the entry of the animals, which shows that the animals listed thereon meet the health requirements of the state of Maryland.

3. SELF CERTIFICATION: A completed Self Certification is required for all

entries except for equine entering equine only events.

• Self-Certification forms must be filled out within 24 hours prior to loading and presented upon request to the designated representative.

• A Self Certification is an official Maryland document signed by the owner/caretaker/transporter stating that the animals presented for exhibition are not showing any signs of, or having recent exposure to (within 21 days) infectious or contagious diseases.

• Self Certification forms are specie specific for livestock (ruminants, swine), equine, poultry and rabbits. These forms are available on MDA’s website:

http://mda.maryland.gov/animalhealth/pages/fairs-shows.aspx

http://mda.maryland.gov/animalhealth/pages/fairs-shows.aspx

49

4. TEST REPORT FORMS. Testing is required for some species, and if so, a test report form will be required unless otherwise documented on the CVI. See Species specific Requirements for details of testing and test report requirements.

Examples of test reports are shown below:

• Avian Influenza Testing Report

• Pullorum-Typhoid Testing Report

• Coggins Test Report (Equine Infectious Anemia)

• Tuberculosis Test Report 5. MARYLAND POULTRY PREMISES IDENTIFICATION – All Mar-

yland premises with poultry are required to be registered with the Mary-land Department of Agriculture. The Poultry Premise number must be noted on the Test Report or other documentation of Pullorum Typhoid and Avian Influenza NPIP Clean or State H5/H7 Monitored status.

6. ANIMAL REJECTION POLICY. Animals may be rejected from an exhibition, either denied entry or removed from the exhibition, as de-scribed below:

a. FAILURE TO PROVIDE COMPLETED DOCUMENTATION IS GROUNDS FOR REJECTION.

b. A SKIN LESION SUSPICIOUS OF RINGWORM TO BE CONSID-ERED NO LONGER CONTAGIOUS TO OTHER ANIMALS OR PEOPLE, NEW WOOL OR HAIR MUST COMPLETELY COVER THAT LESION.

c. Livestock with clinical signs of infectious or contagious diseases or exter-nal parasites are not permitted entry or allowed to remain at the exhibition. Clinical signs include but are not limited to: active lesions of ringworm with resulting loss of hair, sore mouth, sore nose, caseous lymphadenitis, prolapse, mange or multiple warts easily visible without close examina-tion.

d. Suspicion of communicable disease is adequate grounds for rejection. Confirmed diagnosis is not required, since timely removal of suspicious animals is required by law to protect the remaining animals.

e. Exposed animals may be rejected: If it is believed that there is a potential-ly serious communicable disease present, all animals originating with the suspect animal may be rejected. Vesicular diseases are of particular con-cern.

f. All decisions are final.

g. All parties involved will be notified of all rejections, including exhibit sponsors and supervisors.

h. Animal rejections can be made by MDA Animal Health veterinarians or field inspectors, private veterinarians contracted by the show, Maryland Extension employees or individuals designated by the fair or show as a ‘responsible person’.

Wicomico County 4-H

Youth Development Program

4-H/FFA

Premium

Book

81

For more than 100 years, 4-H has stood behind the idea that

youth is the single strongest catalyst for change. What began as a

way to give rural youth new agricultural skills, today has grown

into a global organization that teaches leadership, life skills

development, and community advocacy.

4-H is principled in positive youth development programming

and helping youth step up to the challenges in a complex and

changing world. 4-H is dedicated to helping cultivate the next

generation of leaders and tackling the nation’s top challenges

such as the shortage of skilled professionals, maintaining our

global competiveness, encouraging civic involvement, and

becoming a healthier society.

The Maryland 4-H Youth Development program, through

University of Maryland Extension (UME), is organized under

the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources of the

University of Maryland.

University of Maryland Extension programs are open to all

citizens and will not discriminate against anyone because of

race, age, sex, color, sexual orientation, physical or mental

disability, religion, ancestry, or national origin, marital status,

genetic information, or political affiliation, or gender identity

and expression. If you need special assistance to participate in

this program, contact Amy Rhodes, Barbara Barga or Brad Hartle

at 410-749-6141.

FFA Mission FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing

their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career

success through agricultural education.

How to Join

The FFA is an integral part of the Agricultural Education program. To

join the FFA you must be enrolled in an Ag Science Education course

in your local school. Contact your school’s counselor or Ag Science instructor to

enroll in Ag Ed and join the FFA.

FFA is not a "club." It is one of three integral components of an agricultural education

program: classroom instruction, supervised agricultural experience and life skills.

Students between the ages of 12 and 21 who are enrolled in a systematic course of

instruction in agricultural education are eligible for membership. Your local school

system must offer agricultural instruction and have an active FFA chapter for you to

join.

If your school doesn't have an agricultural education program, take steps to open a

program in your school. In order to accomplish this task we strongly recommended

that you contact your state agricultural education staff to express your interest and

ask for assistance on regulations, requirements and resources for planning the new

program.

4-H is an informal youth education program for boys and girls

between the ages of 8 and 18 (Clovers ages 5 to 7) sponsored by

University of Maryland Extension with funding and support from the

Colleges of Agriculture and Natural Resources of UMCP & UMES,

County Government and USDA. There are a variety of ways for young

people to engage in 4-H including community and project clubs, school

enrichment, after school programs, special interest groups,

independent study, summer camps and more. Community and project clubs provide the richest 4-H experience. Most clubs include about a

dozen boys and girls who meet once a month with two or more

carefully screened and trained teen and adult volunteers in a public

place for about 90 minutes, usually on a week night. 4-H also provides

a wide variety of optional activities/events.

Help Wanted! If you are a caring teen or adult who desires to make a

positive difference in the life of a young person and is interested in

helping form a new club, judging a contest, teaching a class, helping at

camp, chaperoning an outing or assisting with a variety of other tasks,

call the 4-H Office nearest you and volunteer.
