New guide launched to help prevent equine disease spread

REDUCING the risk of spreading equine disease and protecting our horses is a team effort, in which all have a role, experts agree.

British Equestrian’s (BEF) equine infectious disease action group (EIDAG) has released a guide for its member bodies and organisers, and for general use, on reducing the risk of transmission.

The group was set up in 2019, the year of the major equine flu outbreak in the UK, and comprises experts in equine infectious disease and medicine.
