IMPORTED MARES

MAIDEN MARES OVER 731 DAYS OF AGE AT TIME OF IMPORTATION
MARES IMPORTED UNDER A RACING PERMIT
MARES IMPORTED FROM COUNTRIES NOT KNOWN TO BE AFFECTED WITH CEM

These mares are not routinely quarantined by The Division of Animal Health. However, they must meet the following testing and treatment requirements prior to entering a Kentucky breeding shed.

OBTAIN A SET OF SWABS FROM THE CLITORAL FOSSA AND CLITORAL SINUSES ON DAY ONE, FOUR, AND SEVEN. MAIDENS REQUIRE TWO SETS OF CEM CULTURES WITH A MINIMUM OF 72 HOURS BETWEEN THEM

ONE OF THESE SETS OF CULTURES SHALL BE OBTAINED WHILE THE MARE IS IN EARLY ESTRUS, AT WHICH TIME THE ENDOMETRIUM OF THE UTERUS SHALL ALSO BE CULTURED FOR CEM.

THE NEXT THREE (3) MARES BRED TO THE SAME STALLION AFTER THE IMPORTED MARE ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A C.F. BLOOD TEST TAKEN 15 TO 25 DAYS POST-BREEDING. COPIES OF THESE RESULTS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED TO ASHFORD IN A TIMELY MANNER.

IMPORTED FOALING AND BARREN MARES

ALL FOREIGN MARES IMPORTED INTO KENTUCKY UNDER THE STATE/FEDERAL CO-OPERATIVE AGREEMENT DATED DECEMBER 18, 1981 WILL BE CONSIDERED AS “IMPORTED MARES” AND ALL REQUIREMENTS SHALL APPLY TO SAME. A COPY OF THE QUARANTINE RELEASE MUST ACCOMPANY THE MARE ON INITIAL COVER.

IMPORTED (All foreign mares not previously bred in the USA or CANADA during 2023) and QUARANTINED MARES require;

A. Non-Pregnant QUARANTINE RELEASE/Negative endometrium CEM culture
B. Pregnant QUARANTINE RELEASE/Negative endometrium CEM culture

Any mare imported that has not been previously qualified for cover in KENTUCKY will be bred last in line and will be prophylactically scrubbed before being covered.

THE FIRST THREE (3) MARES BRED TO THE SAME STALLION FOLLOWING AN IMPORTED MARE MUST HAVE A CF TEST. Proof that the CF blood test has been drawn MUST accompany ALL mares in these categories if returning to the shed for a second cover and CF test results MUST be provided if returning for a third cover. CF test results must be furnished to the State Veterinarian’s Office. CF test results are mandatory if a mare needs a double on her second heat. Mares WILL NOT be bred on a third heat without CF test results. Please submit copies of the results of this testing to Ashford Stud when received.
