Re: [RC] [RC] Postive CogginsTest in Chico, CA - heidiIsn't it the State Vets responsiblity to contact EVERYONE that is close to this mare? Depends on what is "close." As Angie stated, 1/4 mile is about the top range of a horsefly. The state vet has a responsibility to see to the quarantine arrangement, which is determined either by distance or by having a bug-proof enclosure. Having been "up close" to an "outbreak" in Oregon on the Warm Springs Reservation, the primary concern was rounding up and testing horses that actually ran loose and could be in the same herd--in over 8000 head tested in that roundup, only 12 came up positive, and all of those were captured in a very small geographical area.
