Equine Identification & Traceability
Identification of New Zealand’s horse populations is a fundamental element of New Zealand’s equine biosecurity success.
The New Zealand Equine Health Association’s mission it to protect the health and welfare of New Zealand horses. Disease incursion is recognised as being one of the key concerns for the health of the New Zealand equine population, and hence any opportunities to identify and trace the population will be rudimental in isolating and controlling the spread of potential outbreaks.
Equine Identification & Traceability Database (EITD) is a project that the NZEHA and its equine industry partners have begun embarking on. The end goal of EITD is streamlining current identification of New Zealand horses into one master database, as well as capturing data for the remaining equine population.
Equine Vaccination Guidelines
Vaccination is a vital component of equine health management and assists in protecting horses against a raft of infectious diseases, such as tetanus, strangles, equine herpes virus, salmonella, rotavirus and others.
Equine Surveillance
Understanding the importance of equine surveillance is fundamental to successful disease surveillance within the New Zealand equine industry. Below the Equine Veterinary Surveillance Network explains the approach to equine surveillance in the UK horse population.
