Most equine owners know that a negative Coggins test is a document required to be able to transport their animal across state lines, enter them in a competitive event, or board at someone's barn. But what does the phrase "negative Coggins test" actually mean?

A "Coggins" is a blood test that can only be performed by USDA-approved laboratories and checks for Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) antibodies in the blood. EIA is a potentially fatal blood-borne infectious viral disease that is primarily transmitted by biting flies, particularly horseflies—which means that your animals are at risk even if they never travel or live in a closed herd.

The clinical signs of disease can vary dramatically from an acute infection to an inapparent form, but what is important to know is that it produces a persistent infection. Once an animal tests positive for EIA it becomes a lifelong source of disease transmission, so the owner can only choose between quarantine for life or humane euthanasia to ensure that large outbreaks of the disease don’t occur. There is no vaccine and no treatment for EIA.

Take-home message: While a Coggins test is a necessary travel document, don’t forget that it's also first and foremost a way to identify and remove EIA carriers to keep the disease under control.

🚜 STOCK THE TRAILERS: Haulin’ Hope to the Hill Country 🌾

As many of you know, devastating floods have hit our neighbors in the Texas Hill Country, leaving countless farmers and ranchers without the supplies they depend on.

Here at Taylor Feed and Supply, we’re launching a Feed Drive to collect hay, feed, and other essential supplies for those impacted.

💪 Tuesday-Sat July 8th - 12th, we’re asking our amazing Taylor Made Texas community to come together and help us Stock the Trailers.

📍 Drop off or make donations at:
Taylor Feed & Supply, 102 Talbot St. Main Street - Taylor, Texas
🕒 Tue-Fri 8am-6pm, Saturday 8-2pm
📞 512-365-9436

👉 If you can’t donate supplies, monetary donations are also welcome and will go directly to purchasing what’s most needed.

Let’s haul hope—one bale, one bag, one blessing at a time. 💛
Because when Texas hurts, Texans help.

Feed and Supplies will be taken by our convoy team on Sunday July 13th.
