COMPULSORY TESTING OF ALL STALLIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA FOR CEM
Screening of stallions for CEM in SA
Screening of stallions Programme for CEM in SA
It has been announced by the Department of Agriculture, Forest and Fisheries (DAFF) that all stallions used for breeding or semen collection in South Africa have to undergo testing for Contagious Equine Metritis (CEM).
The Disease
CEM is a venereal bacterial disease of equines. It can be transmitted by artificial insemination techniques and natural cover.
Implications
Until April 2011 South Africa was declared free of the disease. It was imported with a Warmblood stallion. In May 2011 South Africa lost its CEM Free Status with the OIE. We need to get it back by eradicating the disease. It has export implications at a time when we need as many factors as possible to contribute to normal export status for South Africa. Failure to comply will result in progeny of the stallion NOT being eligible for registration in the relevant stud book.
Procedure
All stallions need to be tested twice using special techniques (dry swab, no transport media) and special testing (PCR at ERC) one week apart.
Information
Please familiarise yourself with the Procedure Manual as prescribed by DAFF. Download CEM Procedure here.
