## Abstract

We are amending the regulations pertaining to livestock facilities under State or Federal veterinary supervision to require that any livestock facility accepting horses classified as reactors to equine infectious anemia must quarantine these animals at all times at least 200 yards from all equines that are not reactors to this disease. Currently, livestock facilities accepting reactors to equine infectious anemia are required to quarantine the reactors that will remain at the facility for longer than 24 hours at least 200 yards away from all other animals. This rule will help to prevent the interstate spread of equine infectious anemia, a contagious, vector-borne disease affecting equines.
