Quick Nevada Reminder on Health Certs - The current requirements are that ALL horses from California must have a CVI within 7 days of arriving at an event and the CVI must include a VS statement that the horse has not been exposed to a facility or originate from a facility with VS in the last 14 days.  All Extended Equine CVI’s have been suspended for California, so they will need to get a CVI from their veterinarian within 7 days.

Currently, all horses, cattle, swine, sheep, and goats from a state where Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) has been diagnosed, or visiting an infected state and then returning to Nevada, except those moving directly to slaughter, must be accompanied by a CVI that includes the statement:

“I have examined all the animals identified on this certificate within seven (7) days of shipment date and have found them to be free from signs of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV). During the last fourteen (14) days, these animals have not been exposed to VSV nor located on a VSV confirmed or a VSV suspected premises.”
