🐴Equine Influenza🐴
Due to a sharp rise in confirmed Equine Influenza cases across the UK, we strongly advise all our horse owners to be vigilant for clinical signs of disease, ensure appropriate biosecurity measures on their premises or if travelling, check that their horses' vaccinations are up to date and consider boosting the vaccine every 6 months to maintain maximum immunity.

With cases popping up across more than 30 counties nationwide, the risk level remains exceptionally high. Outbreaks have been confirmed close to us in South Lanarkshire, South Ayrshire, the Scottish Borders and Cumbria.

Equine influenza is a highly contagious, airborne virus that can spread rapidly, even traveling over 1KM in the wind. The movement of horses (between premises or to events) has been a primary driver of recent outbreaks however the virus can also spread indirectly by handlers, equipment, feed buckets and through shared horseboxes and stables.

Key Recommendations
To protect your horses and prevent the spread of the virus, please take the following steps:
• Biosecurity measures: employ strict hygiene measures to prevent the infection being transferred
• Flu vaccinations: Ensure your horse's flu vaccinations are fully compliant. Vaccinations will not fully stop horses contracting the infection, however vaccinated horses will not be as severely affected or for as long. They'll also shed less of the virus, reducing the risk of spread to others.
• Consider 6-Month Boosters: While annual boosters are the standard, bringing your booster forward to a 6-month cycle should improve your horse's antibody levels.
• Monitor for signs: A raised temperature is often the earliest warning sign of infection. Routinely check your horse's re**al temperature (it should be less than 38.5C), a harsh cough, gagging when eating, clear nasal discharge that may become yellow or green, lethargy, reduction in appetite, swollen glands. Contact us if you have any concerns.
