Biosecurity Education Course - designed to help event organisers
|
In conjunction with the Veterinary Advisor Dr Warwick Vale, the EFA has developed a Biosecurity Education Course, designed to educate and train event organisers on necessary biosecurity measures and how best to practically implement them for their events.
- biosecurity. There is a need to implement event biosecurity systems and measures for the ongoing protection and health of all horses at events.
In the coming months, NSW, Qld, Vic and SA will each be running a three hour Horse Heath Steward / Biosecurity Awareness Course for all event organisers, event committees, stewards and interested persons.
The course will be presented by local FEI Veterinarians and cover the roles and responsibilities of the event organisers, Horse Health Stewards (HHS), owners and riders and how to best implement good biosecurity measures.
The Horse Heath Steward (HHS) is one such measure; a check point or quality control person trained to identify any symptoms and notify the appropriate authority at the event. The HHS role will be a vital cog in the wheel by ensuring good communication between the local / appointed Veterinarian, the Chief Steward and the Ground Jury regarding any biosecurity issues.
