Export alert:
Due to contagious equine metritis (CEM) detection in the United States (US), the additional certification FOR LIVE HORSES (including Canadian horses returning to Canada but excluding horses for immediate slaughter) will be required on all U.S. export health certificates issued after January 16, 2009 and for Canadian horses exported to the U.S. after January 16, 2009 and returning on a Canadian health certificate.
The new certification statements are reflected in the protocol in point 4 and 5.
Please note that at the present moment, the Canadian import permit for the US origin horses is not required, except for the animals from the state of Florida.
The horse(s) have not been on premises where T. equigenitalis has been isolated during the 60 days immediately preceding exportation to Canada or premises currently under quarantine or investigation for CEM. Any female(s) in the shipment have not been bred naturally to, or inseminated with, semen from a stallion positive for CEM, or a stallion resident upon positive premises or under quarantine or investigation for CEM.
Showed no clinical signs of CEM on the day of inspection.
IN ADDITION PLEASE ALSO NOTE:
For Canadian horses returning to Canada on a Canadian health certificate, a supplemental certification document with the above mentioned requirements will be provided by the CFIA endorsing office when advised of intended return. The supplemental certification will need to be attached to the Canadian health certificate after completion and endorsed by USDA before return of the horse(s) to Canada.
