EHV-1 Outbreak: Number of Confirmed Cases Rising [edited]

May 19, 2011 [4:15 PM CDT] Article # 18269
It's been nearly a week since the first indications of a neurologic equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) outbreak began to surface, and the outbreak shows no signs of slowing down. Veterinarians have been confirming new cases of neurologic EHV-1 daily in the western United States and Canada. The National Cutting Horse Association's (NCHA) Western National Championship competition, held April 28-May 8 in Ogden, Utah, has been identified as a common denominator in the outbreak, as many of the horses confirmed or suspected of having the disease were involved in the competition or exposed to horses coming home from the event.

Veterinarians in several states are determining the extent of a possible equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) outbreak tied to cutting horses involved in a recent Odgen, Utah, championship show. Several animals that participated in the April 29-May 8 National Cutting Horse Association's (NCHA) Western National Championship were diagnosed with the neurologic form of the illness, and at least two horses were euthanized when their conditions deteriorated.

Equine Herpes Virus Reported in Idaho
Over the weekend, a report came out about an outbreak of Equine Herpes Virus 1 (or EHV 1). I contacted ISDA this morning to get the latest information from them, which is what I am attaching (as did Stephanie Etter). The information has been forwarded to the 4-H youth development professionals in Idaho through the 4-Hyd list but the problem is larger than that.
This is an virus that affects horses, llamas and alpacas (but not a threat to humans). There are suspected cases in Idaho (2 horses have died who were exposed to the virus). I do know there are already events (non-Extension sponsored) being affected by this outbreak.
I also found a good resource from Utah State that gives a general overview of the virus. The link to that is

Guidebook for niche meat processors released
By Lisa M. Keefe on 5/9/2011
The Niche Meat Processor Assistance Network (NMPAN) has published a business planning guidebook for small beef, pork and poultry processors titled, appropriately, “The Meat Processors Business Planning Guidebook.”
It is available on the organization’s website: http://www.extension.org/pages/17166/meat-processor-business-development
“Every business needs a plan, whether you're just getting started or changing course after many years,” the organization said in a release. “This short guide walks you through a basic business plan, from a processor looking to upgrade and expand his facility.” It contains detailed financial projections and suggestions for planning other plant configurations (including a mobile slaughter unit), the release said.
A companion spreadsheet offers a modifiable pro forma, based on the model plan in the guide.
