Texas removed from Kentucky VS embargo area.

2009 VSV Affected Areas

The Texas Animal Health Commission has reported the single quarantined premise in Starr County is released from quarantine and that the last ‘active investigation’ has been closed following receipt of negative tests allowing Texas to be declared free of Vesicular Stomatitis.

With the release of the quarantine and no active investigations, Texas no longer has areas embargoed by the Kentucky Board of Agriculture and is free to ship animals to Kentucky by meeting our normal and ordinary entry requirements found in 302KAR20:040 – Entry into Kentucky.

Currently: All Livestock (including equine), wild and exotic animals are currently prohibited from entry into Kentucky from the designated areas defined to include the NEW MEXICO’s DeBaca and Valencia counties. In addition to the entry requirements found in 302KAR20:040 - Entry into Kentucky, livestock (including horses), wild and exotic animals originating from the non-embargoed areas of New Mexico are required to meet additional vs testing and certifications before qualifying for entry into KY.
