Missouri Animal Health Requirements for Exhibition
2 CSR 30-2.040 Animal Health Requirements for Exhibition
PURPOSE: This rule revises and clarifies Missouri's regulations on intrastate and interstate requirements for exhibition.
(1) Health Certificates.
(A) The term health certificate or Certificate of Veterinary Inspection means a legible record made on an official form of the state of origin, issued by an accredited veterinarian, which shows that the animal(s) listed meets the testing, vaccination, treatment and health requirements of the state of destination. Unless stated otherwise in the following rules, a health certificate or Certificate of Veterinary Inspection must accompany all animals to be exhibited and be available on request by animal health officials.
(B) Animals with active lesions of ringworm with resulting loss of hair or warts easily visible without close examination will not be permitted to exhibit and shall be subject to isolation or expulsion depending upon the nature and seriousness of the disease.
(C) Scheduled breed association sales with shows in conjunction with the sales will employ accredited veterinarians other than state regulatory personnel for processing animals and health certificates for change of ownership.
(D) The following listed entry requirements on livestock are for exhibition only. These minimal health and testing requirements do not qualify livestock that are to be sold or moved to a new owner or destination. Please investigate and comply to the added requirements for livestock that are to be in a sale as well as on exhibition.
(6) Exhibition Requirements on Horses and Other Equidae.
(A) All equidae to be exhibited must be free of clinical signs of an infectious or contagious disease.
(B) All organized, managed or sponsored equidae shows, rodeos, or competitions will require proof of a negative Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) test within twelve (12) months prior to the event. An official Certificate of Veterinary Inspection and VS Form 10-11 (or later revision) showing graphic descriptions of all marketings needed for identification must accompany each animal showing-
1. Identification and description of all equidae listed on the certificate;
2. Negative EIA test date, negative test results, the name of the state/federal approved laboratory and the test accession number assigned by the testing laboratory;
3. Photocopies or facsimile copies of the VS Form 10-11 may be accepted if they are legible and bear certification by the testing veterinarian or testing laboratory that it is an official copy; and
4. Missouri origin equidae are exempt from the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection requirement.
(C) The board, organization or manager of each assembly or event is responsible for insuring that each animal admitted or participating is accompanied by an official Certificate of Veterinary Inspection showing proof of a negative EIA test, and shall not admit or allow participation of animals not so certified. Untested animals cannot congregate with other equidae. The owner of each animal is also responsible to comply with these requirements under sections 267.010 to 267.730, RSMo, and may be assessed civil penalties not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for each violation.
(D) Alteration or substitution of any information on any VS Form 10-11 or Certificate of Veterinary Inspection shall cause the document to be invalid and in violation of sections 267.010 to 267.730, RSMo, and may result in civil penalties not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per violation.
(E) No EIA test is required on suckling foals that are accompanied by their dams. All weaned foals must be tested.
(F) Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis (VEE) vaccination is required on all equidae entering from any state in which the disease has been diagnosed within the past twelve (12) months. A special prior permit number must be obtained and also listed on the health Certificate.
(G) Any sick equidae at an exhibition may be excused by the official inspecting veterinarian. When an official inspecting veterinarian is present, all equidae will be subject to daily inspection. Any equidae entering without proper health certification and tests when required will be excused from the show until proper documents and tests are obtained.
