NPIP in Wyoming

Verified September 2026

The short version

Wyoming participates in the National Poultry Improvement Plan, administered in-state by the Wyoming Livestock Board (Animal Health Division) — Wyoming's Official State Agency. Wyoming is not currently listed among the NPIP U.S. Pullorum-Typhoid Clean States, so we don't assert that status here — confirm your flock's current classification with the state agency. As in most states, moving hatching eggs or birds across state lines generally requires NPIP participation or pullorum-typhoid-clean testing. Exact fees, testing procedures, and in-state sale rules are set by the state agency — confirm current details with them using the official links below.

Joining NPIP in this state

  • NPIP is administered in Wyoming by the Wyoming Livestock Board (Animal Health 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 — confirm which apply to you.

Pullorum-typhoid testing

  • Wyoming is not currently listed among the NPIP's recognized U.S. Pullorum-Typhoid Clean States — confirm your flock's or hatchery's current classification with the Wyoming Livestock Board.
  • 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 Wyoming, and any permits or flock-size thresholds, are set by the Wyoming Livestock Board — confirm them directly.

Show testing requirements

  • Many Wyoming 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 Wyoming Livestock Board 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.

Confirm these with the state agency

  • Wyoming's current NPIP U.S. Pullorum-Typhoid clean classification — it is not listed among the national program's P-T Clean States, so confirm the current status and what testing your flock needs with the Wyoming Livestock Board rather than relying on any national summary.
  • Current NPIP fees in Wyoming (if any) and the exact enrollment/testing procedure — set by the Wyoming Livestock Board; confirm via the official links.
  • Rules for selling poultry within Wyoming (permits, thresholds, farmers-market rules) — confirm with the Wyoming Livestock Board rather than relying on any national summary.
