Following is a listing of thoroughbred mares imported from CEM affected countries since June 1, 2007. Please remember that before these mares are bred you should receive a copy of the "Quarantine Release" - and if not included on the Quarantine Release - a copy of the CEM culture collected from the endometrium, indicating they have satisfactorily completed the CEM testing procedure. Each of these mares are to be bred last in the session.

In addition, remember that "MAIDEN MARES or MARES IMPORTED FROM NON-CEM AFFECTED COUNTRIES" ARE NOT INCLUDED ON THIS LIST. It is the breeding shed's responsibility to identify these mares when they are booked, and to insure that the proper testing has been satisfactorily completed. They need 2 sets swabs collected and cultured negative for CEM. A swab shall be collected from the endometrium and cultured for CEM. This swab may be included with either of the required sets of swabs, or in the case of a pregnant mare, this swab may be collected after foaling. These mares are to be prophylactically scrubbed and are bred last in the session.

Also, please remember to notify the State Veterinarian's Office whenever an imported mare is covered by one of your stallions. We need the name of the covering stallion, breeding date, imported mare's name and boarding farm including the correct mailing address. In addition, we need the same information for the next three mares covered by the same stallion.
