The Illinois Department of Agriculture has established requirements for health inspection of poultry for exhibition at a county fair.
State certified poultry testers will be at the Fulton County Fairgrounds on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, from 5-7 pm to test poultry. It is recommended exhibitors give a $1 per bird tested as a donation to the certified testers for their services. Please attend to have birds inspected, blood tested, and obtain the VS Form 9-2. Be prepared to provide the poultry breed information for the VS 9-2 form. The form must be presented to Poultry Superintendent Sam DeCounter at check-in.
Please call the Extension office at (309) 547-3711 or email Krista (kristakg@illinois.edu) to register for the testing date.
