The blood test for pullorum typhoid must include the testing of a sample of blood from each bird in the flock. When partial or sample testing is specified by this chapter, the birds tested must be a random or representative sample drawn on a pro rata basis from all pens or units of the flock. When reactors are found in any flock, or Salmonella pullorum or Salmonella gallinarum isolations are made from baby poultry or fluff samples, the flock may qualify for participation in the S.D. pullorum typhoid clean program with two consecutive negative tests. Qualification for participation in S.D. pullorum typhoid clean program of such a flock on the same premises during the next two years must be based on the testing of all birds. Testing must be conducted by or directly supervised by a state inspector.
