Equine Viral Arteritis
For EVA, the current
recommendations (Horserace Betting Levy Board) are that:
"After 1 January in any year
all UNVACCINATED STALLIONS AND TEASERS should be serologically
tested. Do not use them for mating and teasing until results are
available."
"In any breeding season, the
safest way to avoid risk is to blood test all mares within 4
weeks before mating. Do not mate the mare until the results are
available."
Protocol requirements:
- Single serum sample (0.5ml)
