What IF US Loses CEM Free Status?

Dec 31, 2008 No Comments by

Due to the recent outbreak of CEM in Kentucky, we have a new article on our web site about Contagious Equine Metritis (CEM). It can be found in the articles section

The biggest concern is if the US should lose its CEM free status. If that should occur, it will have a SERIOUS impact on breeders shipping semen into Canada, as well as any horses being shipped into Canada as they would have to undergo quarantine and testing for CEM – a serious financial burden for all parties concerned!

After realizing the ramifications of this recent outbreak and recognizing that many breeders, veterinarians and horse people just don’t have time to keep up on some of the pertinent and important issues, we have initiated a newsletter. If you wish to receive a copy of our Newsletter, simply go to the main page on our website and complete the subscription link at the top right hand side of the main page. It will have the latest
updates on things like the CEM outbreak, as well as articles timely for breeding season and current research and products. The subscription is completely free and we do not sell, trade, give, auction or in any way release your email address to anyone <smile>.

For any of you that had already subscribed and/or had recently received a copy of the newsletter, you will need to complete the form, as well. There was a recent software “glitch” which resulted in ALL of the emails of everyone that had recently subscribed to our newsletter being moved to the “Do Not Mail” list. I no longer have access to those email addresses and consequently, anyone that had already received a newsletter is off my Xmas list, so to speak <smile>. Frustrating, to say the least! But hopefully we can get everyone signed back up!
