During an equine infectious disease outbreak, it’s critical for owners and professionals to know where cases are happening. It’s also important that they know how these cases are evolving as quickly as possible. Then they can make smart travel and competition decisions to keep their animals healthy and safe.
Equine Network, with support from Boehringer Ingelheim, has introduced a new way to stay up to date on equine infectious disease outbreaks as they happen.
EDCC Health Watch text alerts notify horse owners, veterinarians and barn managers when a disease in their area gets reported to the Equine Disease Communication Center. To sign up, simply select the state(s) or region(s) for which you want to receive alerts using this link.
