Approved Equine Feedlots

 
Approved equine feedlots are facilities which have been approved by Animal Industries to feed slaughter-bound equines which have not been tested for equine infectious anemia (EIA) prior to importation into Idaho. Untested equines must be kept separate from any other equines on the premesis and removed within 60 days and be sent to an approved slaughter establishment.
 
These facilities must renew annually, as their approval expires December 31st of each year.  For new and renewing facilities, please complete an application and submit it to Animal Industries.  Prior to approval, a Livestock Investigator will conduct an inspection of your facility to ensure adequate containment and proper separation from other animals.  Once approval has been granted, meticulous records must be maintained by the applicant; these must be available for examination by ISDA at any time.
