This last December the legislation requiring EIA testing for horses expired in Michigan due to a "Sunset Provision" in the previous regulation passed by the legislature. New legislation is being composed to present to the Michigan legislature for passage sometime this spring. Right now we are in limbo regarding what the rule is. Contact the state veterinarians' office if there is any question about the rule.
Another reason to contact the office is Michigans' rule regarding Equine Piroplasmosis. This disease is a reportable to the USDA and Michigan has set up its' own regulation. If the disease has been reported in the state of origination within the last twelve months (12) a negative test is required before shipping into the state of Michigan. The number for the state veterinarians' office is: 517-373-1077.
