In addition to prohibiting these animals from entering Kentucky, all other livestock, wild or exotic animals entering Kentucky from New Mexico must have a statement included on the Official Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (OCVI) stating:
Animals represented on this OCVI have not originated from a premise or area under quarantine or on which vesicular stomatitis has been diagnosed in the past thirty (30) days or from an embargoed area restricted from entry into Kentucky.
