Current through June 25, 2024
The Board shall allow the use of alligator farms to dispose
					 of dead poultry
When the approved guidelines are followed. Guidelines for
					 the use of alligators for disposal of poultry mortality
1. Using alligators for the disposal of
				  poultry mortality is an experimental only method , approved by the State
				  Veterinarian, on a case by case bases. If at any time the State Veterinarian
				  determines that this method presents a risk of spreading avian diseases, the
				  approval may be revoked for the individual grower or for the method
				  entirely.
2. The poultry integrator
				  must agree for the individual poultry grower to use alligators for the disposal
				  of poultry mortality.
3. The grower
				  must have an approved alternate method of disposal of dead chickens available
				  on farm.
4. Department of
				  Environmental Quality and Department of Wildlife and Fisheries must approve
				  each poultry grower's site and issue a permit to have alligators
5. Only poultry from a grower's operation may
				  be fed to alligators on his premise. No poultry may be brought onto a poultry
				  grower's premise for the purpose of feeding to alligators. No poultry for the
				  purpose of feeding alligators may be transported on public roads at any
				  time.
6. The Mississippi Board of
				  Animal Health will randomly pull water samples to test for bacteria.
7. There will be no onsite processing of the
				  alligators.
8. Hot houses and
				  storage lagoon must be designed by NRCS. In addition, the wall surrounding the
				  pool must be constructed of concrete or brick and be a minimum of 36 inches
				  tall.
9. The Mississippi Board of
				  Animal Health will routinely inspect these facilities to ensure compliance with
				  these guidelines and other rules governing the disposal of Poultry
				  mortality.

Testing of tissue and blood samples of poultry, for
					 diseases which are reportable to the state veterinarian, may only be performed
					 by laboratories approved by the state veterinarian. This includes testing for
					 export purposes, when such diseases are reportable. Reportable diseases that
					 are covered under this regulation include Avian Influenza(AI), Infectious

Laboratory Approval Process. Since animal disease
					 surveillance and laboratory diagnosis are integral to establishing the health
					 status of the national herds and flocks as well as individual animals destined
					 for export, the OIE has developed a set of standards for acceptable laboratory
					 practices (Standard for Management and Technical Requirements for Laboratories
					 Conducting Tests for Infectious Animal Diseases). The purpose of this document
					 is to establish laboratory standards that must be used when producing data for
					 use in establishing infectious disease status. The current OIE Standard for
					 Management and Technical Requirements for Laboratories Conducting Tests for
					 Infectious Animal Diseases is based on ISO 17025 and other standards, and
					 incorporates parts of the ISO 9000 series that are relevant to the scope of
					 testing. Rapid reporting of results is critical to the response of a
					 potentially devastating poultry disease. A laboratory shall be considered
					 approved as long as all three of the criteria listed below are met.
1. Reporting Standard:
a. All suspect and positive results are to be
				  immediately reported to the State Veterinarian via phone and fax.
b. A monthly summary of the number of tests
				  performed and their results for each disease shall be supplied to the State
				  Veterinarian's Office.

				  Veterinarian, in consultation with the Poultry Disease Taskforce, shall
				  establish the type, method and timing of vaccination.
3. ILT is a reportable disease in Mississippi
				  . A laboratory diagnosis, field diagnosis or suspicion of disease must be
				  reported immediately to the State Veterinarian. Information on reported breaks
				  will be relayed each company and the Poultry Disease Taskforce will be

				  follow cleaning and disinfecting, sanitary and management procedures and
				  on-farm traffic control measures as required by the Board of Animal Health. See
				  "Procedures For ILT-Positive Premises".
5. Chickens produced from known ILT infected
				  areas shall not be allowed entry into Mississippi except by permit from the
				  State Veterinarian.
6. The movement
				  of any poultry (including, but not limited to, broilers and spent fowl for
				  processing) from infected farms shall be moved only under the supervision of
				  the Board of Animal Health.
7.
				  Restricting the movements of poultry litter may be necessary in the control of
				  ILT. This may include a ban on movements or requiring permits by the State
				  Veterinarian prior to movements.
8.
				  Based on epidemiology of the outbreak and input from the Poultry Technical
				  Committee, vaccination programs may be implemented by the State Veterinarian as
				  a necessary part of the control of the outbreak.

Current through June 25, 2024
Scrapie is a degenerative and eventually fatal disease
					 affecting the central nervous systems of sheep and goats. This disease is a
					 member of a class of diseases called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies
					 (TSE's). The control of this disease is complicated because the disease has an
					 extremely long incubation period without clinical signs. To control the spread
					 of Scrapie within the United States, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
					 Service (APHIS), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), administers regulations
					 at 9 CFR part 79, which restrict the interstate movement of certain sheep and
					 goats.

Current through June 25, 2024
In August of 2001 USDA published a final rule in the Code
					 of Federal Regulations for the interstate movement of sheep and goats by
					 requiring certain animal identification for sheep and goats moving interstate,
					 by establishing a list of States that conduct an active State Scrapie program
					 that is consistent with Federal requirements, by establishing requirements for
					 moving sheep and goats interstate from those States and from States that do not
					 conduct such programs, by reinstituting an indemnity program for certain sheep
					 and goats affected by Scrapie, and by making other associated changes. These
					 changes will help prevent the interstate spread of Scrapie, an infectious
					 disease of sheep and goats. The compliance date for all requirements to
					 identify animals that are not Scrapie-positive animals, suspect animals,
					 high-risk animals, exposed animals, or animals from an infected or source flock
					 is November 19, 2001. The compliance date for all requirements for the
					 identification of commercial white faced breeding sheep less than 18 months of
					 age and commercial breeding goats is February 18, 2002.
