Veterinarian Services

 
Although the Board of Veterinary Medicine is the main regulatory agency for veterinarians in the state of Idaho, ISDA does interact with them on a regular basis for several services.
 
Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (CVIs)
The ISDA Division of Animal Industries provides CVIs for Idaho accredited veterinarians to issue when animals are moved interstate. Free electronic CVIs for livestock shipments can be issued through the Idaho Livestock Trace Program. Access to the Livestock Trace Program can be requested by contacting Animal Industries at (208) 332-8540. Books of paper CVIs for large animals and small animals can be ordered here or by calling (208) 332-8540.  Additional supplies provided by Animal Industries include saleyard release forms, veterinary prescription pads, and business reply envelopes to remit completed documents. Other supplies for veterinarians can be ordered through the Animal Health Lab or USDA Veterinary Services.
 

Horse owners who would like an Extended Equine Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (EECVI) will need to utilize the services of a veterinarian with access to the GlobalVetLink (GVL) system. Valid EECVIs require owners to log-on and enter destination information prior to each trip in order to obtain legal movement documents. While electronic EECVIs are accepted by many states throughout the country, not all states participate in this program. You will need to check with your states of origin and destination to ensure the document is valid for your anticipated movement(s).

 
As an alternative to paper CVIs, ISDA does accept the use of the following online/electronic health certificates for animals leaving Idaho:

• Idaho Livestock Trace Program
• GlobalVetLINK
• VSPS
• Smart ICVI
• Vet Sentry

In addition to the above, Idaho accepts the following for animals being imported:

• mCVI
• iCVI
• eCVI

 
Veterinary Accreditation
Accreditation is issued by USDA Veterinary Services but the annual accreditation meeting, usually held in the summer, is conducted jointly and held at the ISDA building in Boise.  For questions regarding your accreditation or to obtain your accreditation number, please contact Veterinary Services at (208) 373-1620.
 
Testing and Vaccination Records
All records for brucellosis vaccination must be submitted to ISDA within 7 days of vaccination.  All records for brucellosis, tuberculosis and trichomoniasis testing are also to be submitted to ISDA.  If you have questions regarding testing costs, contact the Animal Health Lab.
