Rhodococcus Equi - Early Identification is Key!

Over the past few weeks, our lab has identified an increasing number of samples positive for the presence of R Equi in horses. While this is a reminder to remain vigilant, it's also an opportunity to emphasize the importance of early detection in preventing the spread of this disease.

Foals are particularly at risk of infection and is a serious cause of pneumonia in young foals. Symptoms are often slow to develop, so early detection is the best way to safeguard both your animals and your yard.

We can provide testing of R Equi by PCR, detecting virulent strains in less than 48 hours.

If you notice any unusual symptoms or have concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to your vet.

Let’s stay proactive and informed, so we can keep our horses happy and healthy!

The IEC are delighted to be working with HSI to provide the Environmental Testing Scheme to Sport Horse Breeders. This scheme has proven popular over the past few years.
The aim of the scheme is to help in the prevention of enteric and respiratory disease in young foals and to minimise environmental impacts on fertility for the coming season. The scheme provides information on the hygiene status and pathogen burden of key communal areas of your establishment as well as assessing water quality and an in-depth forage analysis comprised of hygiene check, zearalenone screen, nutritional analysis and mineral analysis.
This scheme is heavily discounted for sport horse breeders at less than 25% of the overall cost. The scheme is in conjunction with and is supported by DAFM under National Breeding Services.
