Equine Herpesvirus hits the U.S.

May 19th, 2011

EQUINE HERPESVIRUS
MYELOENCEPHALOPATHY
[NEUROLOGIC RHINO]

Several cases of “neurologic rhino” have been reported in Arizona and nine other western states. All reported cases appear to stem from exposure to the equine herpes virus (“rhino”) at a competition held in Ogden, Utah during the first week of May 2011. Some horses are recovering but others have been euthanized or have died.

Equine herpes virus (“rhino virus”) has two strains – EVH-4 causes abortion in mid to late pregnancy and EVH-1 usually causes respiratory disease. Sporadically, EVH-1 infection causes neurologic disease. The neurologic disease is a devastating illness that often ends in death or career limiting
longterm damage. This virus only affects the equine species – horses, donkeys and mules. There is no danger to humans or other domestic animals.

There is no definitive treatment once animals become ill. Intravenous fluids, antiinflammatories,
anti-viral medications ($$$) and nutritional support are all indicated but success of treatment is extremely variable.

Signs of infection with and illness from the neurologic form of EVH-4 include:

  • Incoordination of the hind legs (and occasionally front legs)
  • Urine dribbling – overflow from full bladder
  • Inability to stand or walk
  • Lethargy, fever and respiratory signs may be present before neurologic signs develop

Infected animals may shed the virus and cause infection in others before they appear ill. Monitoring temperatures will help detect infected animals earlier than waiting for other signs to develop. Horses with temperatures over 101F suspect for infection.

There is no commercially available vaccine that is labeled for prevention of equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy (“neurologic rhino”). However, there is evidence that vaccination with a good quality EVH-1 (rhino) product may help animals resist infection. Vaccination of at risk animals for EVH-1 is not known to lead to complications. 

How to prevent the spread of EVH-4: 
Probably the most important step in preventing spread of infection is limiting animals’ exposure to the virus: 

  • IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TRAVEL, DON’T. 
    Veterinarians are recommending that you try to keep horses at home for the next 14-21 days.
  • Isolate sick animals.
  • Do not share buckets, stalls, feeders, brushes, turnout areas, etc. between horses or groups of horses.
  • Do not borrow or lend equipment such as bridles and saddles.
  • Disinfect trailers between loads. Disinfect stalls if horses are being moved from one barn to another.
  • Wash or disinfect your hands between horses.
  • Disinfect your shoes before entering the barn area if you have been “off property”.

The incubation period after exposure varies from 24 hours to as much as 21 days – the average time between exposure and illness is about 7 days. Infected animals should be kept isolated from others for one month after clinical recovery.

Congress Passes Tax Extensions and Other Benefits Affecting the Horse Industry

Friday, 17 December 2010 16:58
American Horse Council
Your Unified Voice in WashingtonCongress has passed the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010.  President Obama signed the $858 billion package into law almost immediately.  The Senate passed the bill on December 15 on a vote of 81 to 19.  The House followed on December 16, 277 to 148, with 112 Democrats and 36 Republicans voting no. Passage of the legislation avoids tax increases, scheduled to go into effect automatically on January 1, 2011, on everyone’s individual income, capital gains, and dividend income and on estates.  The bill also includes other tax benefits for the horse industry supported by the American Horse Council.After a bit of brinksmanship over extending the Bush-era tax cuts following the November elections, President Obama and Republican leadership sat down and hammered out the legislation.  There was some opposition in the House to extending the cuts for those making more than $250,000 a year and exempting estates valued at up to $5 million from the estate tax, but it was not strong enough to allow a tax increase on all Americans to go into effect on January 1.

Tax Rates
Under the legislation, individual income tax rates will remain at current levels for two more years, through 2012.  The marginal rates will stay at 10% to 35% depending on one’s income bracket.  The rate structure is indexed for inflation.  Had the bill not been passed and the current rates allowed to lapse, tax rates would have risen about 4% for each bracket.   

The tax rate on capital gains will remain at 15% for another two years, rather than rising to 20%.

The tax rate on dividends will remain at 15% for another two years, rather than being taxed at the same rate as a taxpayer’s ordinary income, which could be as high as 35%.

Payroll taxes for all workers will be reduced 2% from 6.2% to 4.2% for 2011 on wages up to $106,800.  This will put up to $2,136 extra in the pocket of every U.S. worker.  

Estate Tax Rate and Exemption
Effective January 1, 2011, the top estate tax rate will be 35% with an exemption of $5 million for individuals and $10 million for married couples through 2012.  This means that only estates valued at over $5 million ($10 million for married couples) will be subject to the tax.

Expensing Allowance Increased to 100%
Under current law, anyone who purchases a horse or other property for his horse business and places it in service in 2010 can deduct up to $500,000 of the cost.  This applies to horses, farm equipment and other depreciable property used in a business.  This limit will be eliminated for 2011 allowing horse owners and other horse businesses to write off the entire cost of most capital assets when purchased and placed in service.  This provision is retroactive and will benefit any business involved in the horse industry that purchases and places depreciable property in service after September 8, 2010 and through 2011.   

Contribution of Property for Conservation Purposes
Owners of horse farms and ranches are interested in the tax benefits available to those who contribute property for conservation purposes.  Conservation easements are one way that owners can keep their property available for farming, rather than selling it for commercial purposes, while getting a tax benefit.  Under legislation passed a number of years ago, a landowner with 50% of more of his/her income from agriculture could get a deduction for the contribution of a conservation easement up to his/her full income, with any unused amount carried forward for 15 years.  This provision had expired and the deduction was limited to 30% of income.

The tax bill reinstated the conservation easement benefit for two years, through 2012, for contributions made in taxable years after December 31, 2009.

Be sure to check the American Horse Council website for more benefits to the Horse Industry
