Horserace Betting Levy Board
The Horserace Betting Levy Board's code of practice for equine viral arteritis for the 1994 breeding season
Abstract
The Horserace Betting Levy Board formulates codes of practice for the control of contagious equine metritis and other equine bacterial venereal diseases, and equine viral arteritis and equid herpesvirus 1. This year's codes have just been published and the code of practice for EVA, reproduced below, has been substantially amended following the recent outbreak in the UK. The code is intended for use by veterinary surgeons and breeders of thoroughbred and non-thoroughbred horses. The HBLB states that its recommendations represent the minimum measures necessary to monitor for the presence of equine arteritis virus and to prevent its spread when its presence is identified.
