Section 345IAC6-1.1-4.6. EIA requirements for horses entering Indiana

  6. (a) All equines moved into Indiana must have tested negative for EIA within the twelve (12) months prior to the animal entering Indiana. The animal must be accompanied by an official laboratory test report indicating the negative EIA test. The following animals are exempt from the testing required in this subsection:

(1) Suckling foals if they are accompanied by their dam and the dam meets the testing requirements in this subsection.

(2) Equine sold for slaughter.

(3) The state veterinarian may exempt equine from the import test required in this subsection to accommodate unique and emergency situations if the waiver does not subject Indiana equine to a substantial risk of EIA infection.

(4) Animals exempted under subsection (b).

  (b) A person may move an equine animal into the state directly to an Indiana licensed livestock market without the negative test for EIA described in subsection (a) if the market facility collects a sample and submits it for EIA testing immediately upon the animal's arrival at the market.

  (c) The state veterinarian may order any equine not tested for EIA prior to entry into Indiana be tested for EIA after entry into Indiana. (Indiana State Board of Animal Health; 345 IAC 6-1.1-4.6; filed Aug 22, 2014, 4:04 p.m.: 20140917-IR-345140057FRA)
