GlobalVetLink EIA (Coggins) Tests are USDA & CFIA Approved

GlobalVetLink digital EIA tests are approved by USDA for new guidance.

Starting April 15th, 2020, all veterinarians and laboratories must use USDA-approved EIA test forms for regulatory compliance. The USDA has granted official approval of GlobalVetLink’s digital EIA tests for the new requirements, which now include the statement, “Official EIA Test Form, Approved by USDA Veterinary Services March 2020, GVL.”

 

GlobalVetLink's EIA tests are also approved by the CFIA for use in Canada.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has approved GlobalVetLink digital EIA tests for Canada. With veterinary diagnostic laboratories online throughout the country, equine practitioners in Canada can save time and improve their EIA process.

How long are Coggins papers valid?

In general, Coggins papers are valid for up to one year; however, some states or shows may require a negative Coggins test within six months of the event or transportation.

In addition to Coggins papers, a CVI (Certificate of Veterinary Inspection), or horse health certificate is also required when transporting horses. GlobalVetLink provides a seamless digital solution for the Extended Equine Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (EECVI) program, making it easier for veterinarians and horse owners to travel in compliance.
