UMD 4-H Horse Program

Please note the travel requirements currently in place!

Due to the current Equine Herpes Virus (EHV-1) multi-state outbreak, Maryland is instituting the following actions.

Effective immediately:

1. The use of EECVI's is suspended until further notice.

2. Interstate certificates of veterinary inspection (ICVIs) for equids originating from all states are required.

3. In addition, an intrastate certificate of veterinary inspection is required for all equine events within Maryland.

4. Equids originating from states with confirmed positive EHV-1 cases will need a CVI to be issued within 5 days of travel.

5. The following statement must be included on all equid CVI's: “The equine(s) listed on this CVI have, during the 21 days prior to the shipment date, not originated from a premises under EHV-1 quarantine, not been exposed to an EHV-1 positive equine, and not attended any event where an EHV-1 positive equine has been confirmed or suspected.”

These actions supersede the current animal import regulations on the website. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in regulatory or legal action.

Please be aware that many states are changing their entry requirements for equids. You will need to contact the state of destination for the most current requirements.
