A Coggin’s test is a blood test for Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA). EIA is a blood-bourn virus that is spread from horse to horse via a blood-sucking insect such as horseflies. EIA is a debilitating disease that has no cure. Therefore, every horse must be tested at least yearly and receive a negative result to qualify for health certificates, to be transported across state lines, or to attend most horse shows and events.
