Do I need NPIP to sell hatching eggs from Nevada?

To ship across state lines, generally yes — most states require poultry and eggs to be pullorum-typhoid clean (via NPIP) to enter, and Nevada's own import rules require NPIP-origin or negative testing. For sales within Nevada, confirm the current rules with the Nevada Department of Agriculture.

NPIP in Nevada

Q: Who administers NPIP in Nevada?

The **Nevada Department of Agriculture, Animal Industry Division** — Nevada's Official State Agency for the National Poultry Improvement Plan.

Verified September 2026

The short version

Nevada participates in the National Poultry Improvement Plan, administered in-state by the Nevada Department of Agriculture, Animal Industry Division (Nevada's Official State Agency). Poultry and hatching eggs entering Nevada must come from NPIP-participating flocks or test negative for pullorum-typhoid (and, per state import rules, Mycoplasma and avian influenza) — and moving birds or eggs out of state generally requires the same. Exact fees, testing procedures, in-state sale rules, and Nevada's current NPIP clean-status classification are set and published by the state agency and the national program — confirm current details with them using the official links below.

Joining NPIP in this state

NPIP is administered in Nevada by the Nevada Department of Agriculture, Animal Industry Division — apply to join through that Official State Agency.
Hobbyist, exhibition, and breeding-to-sell flocks fall under the federal rules in 9 CFR part 145 (Subpart E); the state agency handles enrollment and testing locally.
The base classification is U.S. Pullorum-Typhoid Clean; other classifications (e.g. Avian Influenza Clean) may apply depending on your birds and where you ship.

Pullorum-typhoid testing

Poultry and hatching eggs entering Nevada must be pullorum-typhoid clean — Nevada's import rules require a negative pullorum-typhoid test (along with Mycoplasma gallisepticum/synoviae and avian influenza) within 30 days of entry, or origin from an NPIP-participating flock.
Poultry moving interstate generally must be pullorum-typhoid clean (via NPIP participation) or test negative before leaving the state — most destination states require it.
Testing is performed by an authorized tester; the state agency can tell you who can test and how to arrange it.

Selling & shipping eggs and birds

Shipping hatching eggs or live birds to another state generally requires NPIP status or pullorum-typhoid-clean testing, because most states bar entry otherwise.
Rules for selling within Nevada, and any permits or flock-size thresholds, are set by the Nevada Department of Agriculture — confirm them directly.

Show testing requirements

Many Nevada shows require pullorum-typhoid testing or NPIP participation for entry; the exact requirement is set by each show and state animal-health rules.
Confirm a specific show's testing requirement with the show secretary and the Nevada Department of Agriculture before entering.

Record-keeping

Keep your NPIP flock/certificate number, testing dates and results, and buyer/sales records — you'll need them for shipping, shows, and inspections.
A printable testing log and sales ledger makes this painless — see the NPIP record pack below.
