Two More States Announce Mare Testing and Quarantine
State Veterinarians from Texas and Oklahoma have announced that they
have quarantined and are testing mares that were bred with semen from,
or were in contact with, stallions that tested positive for the
Contagious Equine Metritis organism. This brings the total of States or
Provinces (Canada) that have announced that they are testing contact
horses to eight. With an estimated 20 States or Provinces involved in
shipments of semen from the stallions, undoubtedly more will be
announced. It is important for breeders to be aware that treatment of
mares for CEM and clearing of the pathogen from the the stallion's
genitalia can be successfully achieved, so awareness of pathogenic
presence with the testing is an important first step to control and
eradication.
