for equine infectious anemia (EIA) must be completely and accurately identified
by a licensed, accredited veterinarian, using the official test form provided
by the office of the State Veterinarian.
(b) Only one form shall be utilized by the
testing veterinarian for each equine to be tested. Any distinctive markings and
their location on the animal such as brands, tattoos, stars, snips, stockings,
or other markings shall be noted on the official chart.
(c) Equine receiving on-farm or private
treaty test shall not be sold or ownership otherwise transferred until the
results of the equine infectious anemia test performed on the animal are
returned. Positive test results shall automatically result in the quarantine of
the animal without further notice at the premises of the owner or where the
test was conducted.
(d) All test
results shall be reported to the office of the State Veterinarian. Tests
conducted at a laboratory within the state shall be reported on official forms
supplied by the Division. Licensed, accredited veterinarians submitting samples
for testing in U.S. Department of Agriculture approved laboratories outside of
North Carolina shall supply a copy of the test record to the office of the
State Veterinarian within five days upon receipt of the test results from the
testing laboratory.
(e) The owner
or manager of a market or sale shall announce, prior to the sale or auction,
that all equines not accompanied by either the original or a copy of an
official negative test for EIA will be tested. Each buyer of such equine at the
sale or auction shall sign an agreement to maintain such equine at a specified
location until notified of the results of the test. Equine that prove negative
to the test may move in normal trade channels. Owners of equine that react to
the test must comply with
