The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has launched an investigation after confirming that horse semen was imported into Canada from a United States stallion subsequently determined to be infected with contagious equine metritis (CEM).
There are no human health implications with this disease.
A fourth stallion that recently stood at DeGraff Stables/Liberty Farm Equine Reproduction Centre LLC has tested positive for CEM.
