Contagious Equine Metritis is a venereal disease of horses. It is caused by the Taylorella equigenitalis organism which can cause infertility in stallions and mares. It is a highly contagious organism which is transmitted by affected stallions or mares during mating.

If any cultures or tests are positive for the CEM bacteria, the stallion must be treated again for 5 consecutive days and then re-tested by being bred to two test mares no less that 21 days after the last treatment. It should be noted that the USDA has treatment protocols in place for the treatment of horses infected with CEM, however the accredited veterinarian may modify treatment procedures and make them more stringent than the mandatory protocols set forth in the USDA regulations.

If any cultures test positive for the CEM bacteria, the mare must be recultured again on three separate occasions within a 7 day period, starting no less than 21 days after the last day of treatment. The mare must also have the treatment repeated for another 5 consecutive days.

No. We did have an outbreak in the 70's caused by an infected stallion imported from Europe to Kentucky. That outbreak resulted in damages reaching over $1,000,000 a day for the period of time that it shut down the Kentucky breeding industry. As a direct result of that outbreak and to protect our breeding industry, our government placed the restrictions on imported animals that we see today.

Geldings do not have to do CEM quarantine. All other animals over 732 days of age - fillies and mares, colts and stallions - have to do Quarantine.

Mares are characterized by a purulent vaginal discharge, endometritis, and short-term infertility. Subsequent to infection, mares can become carriers of the organism even though they act normally and appear unaffected. Stallions, once infected, do not develop clinical signs of the disease. Carrier stallions look normal but they harbor the organism on the surface of their external genitalia as well as internally in their reproductive organs.

Meter reading is taken on the date indicated on the bill as "Next Reading Date". If our meter reader is unable to access meter like meter being locked upon and inaccessible private places, or under extreme conditions like typhoons, we will estimate the electricity consumption based on the average electricity consumption during the most recent 12 months. You can provide us a self-reading or arrange visit to take meter reading by contacting our Info Line at 33 99 11 to avoid estimation.

This is due to no payment before/on the Latest Date to Avoid Disconnection. To reconnect your supply, you need to pay your bill. A MOP100 reconnection fee in addition to a late payment charge will be added on your next bill.Aside from no payment, no meter reading (estimation) for four consecutive months can also cause disconnection.

Although the information presented will be of assistance in securing your certification credential, eMA certifications require knowledge beyond the two topics covered for more information on certification see:

The CEM process was developed based upon clinical and field research by the Coast Guard Research and Development Center. The research shows that following CEMS results in a measurable change in melatonin levels of the body. Since melatonin is the hormone messenger that tells your body to go to sleep, and since we know following CEM changes the levels of this hormone, we know that the crew will be more alert during critical times of watch.

Yes, a list of CEM Quarantine Facilities located in states other than Florida is available through the USDA-APHIS-VS, Hyattsville, MD, phone (301)734-7885. The information may be found in Title 9, Code of Federal Regulation, Part 93.301. Also, one may wish to contact a broker. The approved CEM Quarantine Facility operator will provide a qualified veterinarian to perform the required procedures or one may request the services of any other qualified veterinarian.

The Department charges $1,250 for a single horse and $750 for each additional horse in a shipment of two or more horses. These fees cover the cost of a state employed veterinarian providing oversight for all required procedures performed from the time the animal arrives at the facility until the animal leaves the facility. The procedure requires several visits by the state employed veterinarian for travel and time spent.
