Biosecurity at the Esk Draft . Protecting your livestock

Showcasing your animals at the Esk Draft. Make sure you put in place good biosecurity measures to protect your animals from pests and diseases. This includes monitoring your animals for signs of illness and not taking sick animals to the event. Isolate any sick animals and contact your veterinarian. Remember to follow the event biosecurity protocols, complete mandatory movement records, clean and disinfect equipment after use, and regularly sanitise your hands.

These steps minimise disease risks and helps safeguard your livestock. Prioritise biosecurity to ensure a healthy and successful competition experience!

Recommendations for competitors

The responsibility for good biosecurity practices at horse events starts with the horse owners and competitors long before the event. Practise good biosecurity, good hygiene and decontamination of equipment.

Wash your hands with soap and water or use hand wipes and waterless hand hygiene solution immediately after handling horses.
Do not share equipment, including food and water containers, between horses. Avoid communal water troughs.
Do not knowingly take sick horses to an event.
If a horse is unwell at an event, notify an event official.
Stop all non-essential contact with the sick horse and blood or body fluids from the horse until a veterinarian has excluded Hendra virus as the cause of illness.
Do not allow anyone to have close contact with a sick horse, at least until Hendra virus infection has been ruled out by a veterinarian.
Promptly isolate sick horses and seek veterinary advice. Also isolate any equipment that has been in contact with the sick horse.
Under the Biosecurity Act 2014, you must create a livestock movement record when moving horses between properties in Queensland. This includes moving horses to equestrian events, including training events. The record must be created before the animal is moved.

A copy of the movement record must be kept by the person completing it and the person receiving horses for 2 years or 5 years if the horses are moving between cattle tick zones.
