Section 64.9 - Other authorized movement or transfer

(a) The provisions of sections 64.1, 64.4, 64.7 and 64.8 of this Part shall not apply to any horse or other equidae which is imported, sold, exchanged, bartered, given away or transported for purposes of immediate slaughter if an owner/shipper statement accompanies the horse from the premise of origin to the livestock market. Such statement shall include the name of the consignor, the name of the market, individual identification of the horses present and the number of horses in the shipment. Upon arrival at the livestock market, such horses will be identified with a green equine waybill backtag applied to the left hip which will serve as a permit for their movement to slaughter within 14 days of the date of purchase. Buyers wishing to purchase animals identified with the equine waybill backtag may do so at their own risk provided that an equine infectious anemia test sample is drawn by a veterinarian prior to movement from the market and the equine waybill backtag remains affixed to the animal until the negative results are received.

(b) The provisions of section 64.8 of this Part shall not apply to any horse claimed in any claiming race conducted by any racetrack licensed by the New York State Racing and Wagering Board, and such horse need not be retested for equine infectious anemia provided such horse and all other horses admitted to said track have been tested and found negative for the disease within one year prior to the date of the claim.

(c) The commissioner hereby finds that the exemptions set forth in this section are consistent with the control and eradication of equine infectious anemia.
