Here's the WSDA Dairy Home page: http://agr.wa.gov/FoodAnimal/Dairy And a direct link to a PDF file that gives a brief overview of the current laws: http://agr.wa.gov/FoodAnimal/Dairy/docs/retailrawmilkguidelines.pdf Here's another PDF file about selling RAW milk in WA (this one talks about PET milk): http://agr.wa.gov/FoodAnimal/Dairy/docs/rawmilktruth.pdf Here's where you can find the current list of testing requirements for WA State Dairies (currently TB, Brucellosis & Q-Fever): http://agr.wa.gov/FoodAnimal/AnimalHealth/LawsRules.aspx I located the following rules under: Washington Administrative Codes (WAC's) Chapter 16-86 WAC (updated in 1/09) Cattle and bison diseases in Washington State Chapter 16-89 WAC (updated in 6/08) Sheep and goat diseases in Washington State Labs (for finding current pricing) WA State lab in Olympia Looks like the State Lab is no longer running and they are instead using WSU, so for those of us that used to get free Brucellosis testing through the State lab, will now need to pay WSU's fees (see below). WSU Lab in Pullman, WA They do Burcellosis & Q-Fever, but they send the Q-Fever samples to the Iowa lab below and add forwarding fees. National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) Click on the Ames, Iowa Catalog of Services/Fees link. Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory (TVMDL) or their home page, if the other doesn't work. Click on test to see fees and other info. This is the lab I used for my Q-Fever test (you want to do the IFA test!), and I found to be the least expensive.
