As of September 10th, 2018, the Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) Incident in Colorado has resulted in:

CDA is continuing to work to locate horses in Colorado that were exposed to the EIA-positive horse in addition to testing many of the exposed horses for EIA.

The one quarantined premises in Weld County and the premises directly associated with it have a higher degree of restrictions to control the EIA disease. Some of these are:

• All horses coming into the premises cannot leave until all the re-testing is completed and tests are negative

• All horses coming into the premises must be tested for EIA

• All horses coming into the premises from other states must have a certificate of veterinary inspection

• A complete inventory of horses on the premises is monitored by CDA

Attention Shooters… FYI

If you have travelled to WY or CO for a shoot in the last 30 days.

There is a huge outbreak of EIA and 100’s of quarantined horses. If your horse tested positive with coggins the only solutions are lifetime quarantine or euthanasia!

The Wyoming Livestock Board has quarantined an additional seven premises, totaling nine now, as a result of equine being exposed to a horse originating in Colorado which was found to be positive for Equine Infectious Anemia. Counties include Sweetwater, Lincoln, Teton, Park & Fremont. Forty-one of these equine were exposed at a Sweetwater County premises where the positive horse was sent illegally from Colorado. The remaining horses were exposed to the same horse in Colorado prior to being shipped to Wyoming. All but two of these exposed horses were imported illegally to Wyoming as well. An additional four horses and three premises are still being traced in Natrona and Laramie counties. More information about Equine Infectious Anemia is available at the EDCC website (http://www.equinediseasecc.org ) by clicking on “Disease Information” in the menu bar.
