New Rules
For Equine
Anemia
By Win. C. Bledsoe
Effective August 15, 1974,
new equine Infectious Anemia
Regulations go into effect in
North Carolina. This regulation
by the N.C. Board of Agricul
ture was passed in June of this
year. The two requirements of
interest to horse owners are:
1. All horses, mules, pon
ies, asses and other members of
the equine family nine (9)
months of age or older must be
accompanied by written proof of
an approved negative test for
equine infectious anemia within
the past twelve (12) months
when entering any public
assembly of horses, mules,
ponies or asses. This includes
shows, fairs, trail rides, rodeos,
boarding stables, training sta
bles, sale bams and dealer
premises. Each horse at a public
stable (or public pasture) must
p»ss a negative EIA test every
12 months regardless of the
length of time it has been there.
Provision is made for animals
consigned to states and coun
tries which do not require the
test to be moved on a permit
basis without a test. Horses
ieing moved to approved
Slaughter plants are exempted
ftom the test requirement.
2. The owner, operator or
person in charge of the public
facility or event shall be
responsible for requiring that
each horse is accompanied by.an
official certificate showing it "has
been negative to an approved
test for equine infectious ane
mia within the last 12 months
(and shall present proof of the *>
test to a representative of the
State Veterinarian on request.)
W. C. Bledsoe, County
Extension Chairman, says he is |
encouraging all horse owners
who will be affected by the new |
requirement to have their i
horses tested well ahead of time
to avoid delays of participation
in events or horse movement.
Horse owners should contact
their Veterinarian for schedul
ing the required test.
