GOATS

All goats entering Iowa, except for goats consigned directly to a recognized slaughter establishment, must be accompanied by a certificate of veterinary inspection.
All sexually intact goats that are registered, exhibited, or have resided on the same premises with or commingled with sheep must be officially identified with scrapie ear tags or scrapie approved tattoo. Feeder goats less than 18 months of age moved to an approved terminal feedlot are exempt from identification. All other goats must be officially identified.

Scrapie:

Goats known to be scrapie-positive, suspect, high-risk, or exposed, or that originate from a known infected, source, exposed, or noncompliant flock are not permitted entry without prior permission of the state veterinarian.

Goats for dairy and breeding purposes may enter the state subject to the following requirements:

Brucellosis:

All sexually intact goats less than six months of age must originate from a herd which has been whole-herd tested negative for brucellosis within the last 12 months or must originate from a certified brucellosis-free herd (the date of the last test and certified herd number must be listed on the certificate of veterinary inspection).

Tuberculosis:

All goats must either originate from a tuberculosis-free herd, showing date of last test and herd accreditation number; or originate from a negative herd, tested within twelve months prior to entry, showing date of herd test; or have a negative tuberculosis test applied within thirty days prior to entry.
