EQUINE FLU
Please read below for some advice based on that given by the BHA and TBA to owners and breeders about Equine flu:
Equine flu is a mainly airborne viral infection that can also be transmitted by direct contact from an infected animal (unwashed hands, dirty clothing, bridles & halters etc). The incubation period until an animal becomes ill is about three to ten days after exposure to the virus.
Symptoms include fever, whitish nasal discharge and dry coughs.
Restricting movement and isolating animals that are introduced onto a farm or stables from the resident population are the best way to prevent the spread of disease. Monitor rectal temperatures of newly arrived animals twice a day for ten days. Keep resident and transient horses apart.
Unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated animals, especially foals and immune compromised animals are most at risk to becoming severely ill. Whilst vaccination does not give full protection boostering immunity by revaccinating horses that were last inoculated more than 6 months previously and pregnant brood mares within 3 months of the anticipated foaling date is recommended.
This is likely to reduce the severity of the clinical disease and offer protection to newborn foals through the mare’s colostrum. Newborn foals must receive colostrum within the first twelve hours of life to benefit from the maternal protection against infections.
Good biosecurity by limiting unessential horse movement, herd/group surveillance and monitoring rectal temperatures twice daily are the best ways to prevent the spread of and identify Equine ‘Flu.
When in doubt call your vet for advice!
