WHETHER you’re managing a commercial stud farm, running a high-performance competition yard or simply caring for a few horses at home, biosecurity is one of the most critical, yet often overlooked, components of equine management.

Recognising the critical role that disease prevention and stringent hygiene control play in mitigating the risk of disease, their implementation remains a top priority across the industry to ensure health and well-being of animals. The IEC has developed a new Equine Biosecurity Package, designed to support horse owners and managers in safeguarding equine health, minimising infectious disease risks and contributing to the fight against antimicrobial resistance.
