UPDATED Equine Entry Requirements:
Due to the current Equine Herpes Virus (EHV-1) multi-state outbreak, New Mexico is instituting the following action. Effective immediately, interstate certificates of veterinary inspection (ICVIs) for equids originating from states with confirmed positive EHV-1 cases will need to be issued within 5 days of travel. Temperature MUST be recorded on the ICVI. The following statement must be included: “Within the last 21 days, the equids listed on this CVI have not originated from a premises currently quarantined for EHV-1, have not been exposed to EHV-1, and have not attended an event where EHV-1 has been confirmed.” Failure to comply with these requirements may result in regulatory or legal action.
Please be aware that many states are changing their entry requirements for equids. You will need to contact the state of destination for the most current requirements.
To acquire a livestock entry permit 24 hours / 7 days a week, please use the "NM Entry Permits" menu choice on the left to create permits yourself online. Please note that all horses, mules, asses, cattle and bison entering NM from another state must have an entry permit.
