Requirements for ALL alpacas:

2. No Brucellosis test required
3. Note: Bring a extra copy of your Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (Health Papers) for the Show Superintendent who is required to keep a copy as part of the show's permanent records. No digital formats will be accepted, we must have paper versions!

In Accordance with AOA Show Rules:

1. Also acceptable are alpacas identified with microchip embedded, official USDA approved ear tags.
2. In situations where the number cannot be detected by scanning, this same microchip number is located on the back button of the ear tag and is acceptable for show entry so long as it matches the number stated on the CVI.
3. All alpacas entering the show must be negative for Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) by a PCR or VI lab test and said negative result shall be indicated on the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (health papers) by an accredited veterinarian.
4.  Note:  VI testing prior to 1/1/10 is acceptable.  After this date you must use PCR testing.  Date of test and lab used must be on health papers.

Requirements for ALL OUT OF STATE alpacas:

1. Tuberculosis Testing Requirements:
   a. No test required for animals originating from “Accredited Free” states or zones.
   b. All animals originating from states or zones designated “Modified Accredited Advanced” must be test-negative within 60
   days prior to entry.
   c. All animals originating from states or zones designated “Modified Accredited” (includes part of Michigan) must:

   months prior to entry; and
   (2) The animals to be imported have tested negative to TB within 60 days prior to entry and at least 60 days after the
   whole herd test.

Bio-security at the Jubilee:

1. Bio-security at shows starts with responsible exhibitors bringing healthy alpacas to a show. If your alpaca is sick with diarrhea and/or fever, please do not bring that alpaca to the Jubilee.
2. Upon health check, a licensed Pennsylvania Veterinarian will be available to examine any alpaca entering the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex. 
3. Any animal displaying obvious signs of illness may be quarantined or prohibited from entry.
4. If an alpaca appears distressed or has obvious diarrhea and/or fever, that alpaca will be moved to a quarantine area for observation and vet examination.
5. The show veterinarian will make the final determination if quarantined alpacas shall be allowed into the arena, if they pose a risk to other alpacas and if they are fit to be shown.
6. The veterinarian's decision is final and violation of the quarantine shall be grounds for expulsion from the Farm Show Complex.
7. MAPACA is not liable for any harm or illness that occurs during Check-In, at the time of the show or thereafter resulting from possible bio-security issues.
8. Exhibitors agree that any animal they bring into the show complex is at possible risk of exposure to bio-security hazards and owners assume full responsibility for the ongoing veterinary care that may result from such exposures.
9. Here are some suggested guidelines that the AOA/ARI GIRCOM has issued to minimize health risks at a show. Keep in mind that the following are guidelines only. These are suggestions and not required in any official capacity nor endorsed by the show staff as an official policy. We only supply this as a useful tool to exhibitors.

3. You are NOT permitted to house any alpaca in a trailer or other vehicle in the parking lot.
