Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) Submission to the Board
CVIs issued by accredited veterinarians should be submitted weekly to the Board. The top white copy is the only copy that needs to be submitted. This is a change from the two copies historically required. The CVI itself still directs accredited veterinarians to submit two copies, however, the Board now only requires the top white copy to be submitted. The second copy (blue) is acceptable, but not preferred. The Board recently ordered additional paper CVIs, which will make this change more clear.

Reminder: APHIS Form 7001
When issuing CVIs for animals, please remember only official CVIs may be used. The APHIS Form 7001, that is available online for download by clicking this link, is not an official CVI and cannot be used by Minnesota accredited veterinarians for intrastate or interstate use. The APHIS Form 7001 can only be used for Minnesota animals when it is required by the federal government for international export.
Change for Tuberculin Orders
The Board is transitioning ordering and delivery of Caudal Fold Test tuberculin to the National Veterinary Services Laboratory (NVSL). What does this mean for accredited veterinarians? The next time you need tuberculin, request it the same way you have in the past. Once the Board’s current tuberculin supply is exhausted, we will forward your order to the NVSL and help each veterinarian or clinic get set up in the NVSL system. Once complete, we will forward you all the information you need for future tuberculin orders directly from NVSL.
Extended Equine CVI (EECVI)
Minnesota accepts the EECVI for horses imported into Minnesota from origin states that have also approved the use of the EECVI. Currently, the only company offering an EECVI option is Global VetLink. Please contact the company for additional information including an up to date list of participating states.
