Abstract

Excerpt from the report Summary: Biosecurity practices are necessary to protect equids from disease exposure and to prevent disease spread on an operation or from one operation to another. Limiting the introduction of disease agents by decreasing equids contact with other animals, contaminated feed or water, insects, and outside equids is essential to keeping infectious disease off an operation. In the event that an infectious agent is introduced to an operation, routine vaccination and deworming and isolation of affected equids can prevent further disease spread. The application of biosecurity practices leads to fewer health issues for equids and helps avoid movement and show restrictions on animals.
