Similar to stallions, mares that are imported into the U.S. as 2 year olds or older will have to undergo testing for Contagious Equine Metritis (CEM). ERC has been approved to perform CEM quarantine testing on stallions and mares. Non-pregnant and pregnant mares will be in quarantine for approximately 21 days. During this time, testing will include blood analysis as well as multiple cultures of the clitoral fossa and sinuses, uterine endometrium (non-pregnant mares) and/or cervix. After culturing is complete, the external genitalia, vaginal vestibule, fossa and clitoral areas are all washed with chlorhexidine scrub and packed with nitrofurazone ointment for 5 consecutive days.
