Rules and Regulations of the Department of Agriculture and Markets
(Title 1 of the Official Compilation of the New York Codes Rules and Regulations)
General Prohibitions and Requirements
- No person shall bring or have present an animal on the fairgrounds during
a fair which is not qualified under NYS regulations.
- No person shall present an interstate or intrastate certificate of veterinary
inspection that has been altered by anyone other than the issuing
veterinarian or an authorized agent.
- Animals demonstrating clinical signs or other evidence of infectious,
contagious or communicable diseases shall not be allowed on the
fairgrounds during a fair.
- Representatives of the Commissioner may deny admission to or require
removal from the fair premises, or require the segregation of any animal
showing signs of or exposed to any infectious, contagious or
communicable disease.
- Note: The fair board of directors has the authority to reject unworthy or
unsightly exhibits for reasons other than infectious, contagious or communicable disease (Part 350.10). The state veterinarian or animal health inspector will bring questionable exhibits to the attention of the fair board.
- All animals presented that originate from a location other than New York
shall meet all New York State importation regulations appropriate to the
species in addition to the fair animal health requirements.
- Animals that qualify for admission at one NYS sanctioned county fair shall
be considered approved for admission at all other New York State fairs
conducted during the same calendar year, subject to State importation
requirements appropriate to the species and compliance with the rabies
vaccination requirements of individual fairs, provided that the health status
of the individual animal or the herd of origin does not change in the interim
period. For example, if an animal reaches the minimum age for rabies
vaccination during the fair season, the vaccination requirement must be
met even if the animal was previously admitted to a fair when too young to
vaccinate.
