NPIP Testing Services
Professional poultry health testing for Southern Virginia farms – ensuring your flock meets certification standards
What is NPIP Testing?
The National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) is a cooperative federal-state-industry program that monitors and certifies poultry flocks for specific diseases. NPIP certification is required if you plan to sell hatching eggs, live birds across state lines, or participate in poultry shows and exhibitions.
Regular testing protects your flock’s health, gives buyers confidence in your birds, and opens doors to markets that require certification. Whether you’re a small backyard breeder or managing a larger operation, NPIP testing ensures your flock meets the health standards that serious poultry keepers expect.
Experienced & Certified
Jessica Gilmore-Roberts is a certified NPIP tester serving Southern Virginia poultry farms. With hands-on experience managing her own diverse flock at Twin Ponds Farm – including heritage breed Ameraucanas, Easter Eggers, and Cayuga ducks – she understands the importance of flock health and biosecurity firsthand.
Twin Ponds Farm maintains its own NPIP certification, demonstrating our commitment to the highest standards of poultry health management. When you work with us for your testing needs, you’re working with someone who follows the same protocols for their own birds. We handle your flock with care, complete testing efficiently, and ensure all documentation is properly filed.
