Health Requirements
IMPORTANT: From the 2010 AOBA Show System Handbook
Section 1. Health Regulations
A. All exhibitors must meet the appropriate state regulations for movement of livestock.
B. Even if state regulations do not require the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection, exhibitors shall have a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) completed not more than 30 days prior to the last date of the show for each alpaca transported to the show. This includes companion alpacas.
- The owner shall submit a copy or photocopy of the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) which shall include the alpaca’s name and microchip ID number for each alpaca to the Show Superintendent. The Show Superintendent shall maintain the copy or photocopy of the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) as part of the permanent records of the show.
- Microchip identification shall be verified at entry check/veterinary check.
C. All alpacas entered in or present at the show must be tested for BVDV using the PCR test. One test in the lifetime of the alpaca is sufficient to ensure that it is not a Persistently Infected (PI) alpaca. The BVDV “negative” or BVDV “not detected” test result must be written on the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) along with the date of the test, the lab that performed the test and the testing method (PCR).
If you have any questions regarding the CVI rules pertaining to BVDV, please contact Shari Pritchard, Event Coordinator at 309-360-5311 or autumn@mtco.com
