- Protecting Your Horse From Disease Outbreaks
- When it comes to protecting your horse from disease outbreaks, Mom was right.
- Infectious diseases can be devastating to your horse and your pocketbook, but there are steps you
- can take to protect your horse.
- The first approach is to vaccinate your horse for those diseases for which vaccines are
- based on the likelihood of exposure to the disease and by the type of disease produced.
- diseases that are highly fatal and to which your horse may most likely be exposed.
- protecting individually vaccinated horses from disease, but also in reducing the overall numbers
New Combination Equine Vaccine from Solvay Animal Health, Inc - www.erc.on.ca
- In most horse operations, vaccination forms an integral part of the
- overall preventive health program for infectious disease.
- depends on the risk/benefit analysis of the particular disease in question.
- Benefits of not acquiring a significant disease situation on farm are rather obvious.
- Risk of acquiring a disease depends on all of the factors that contribute to the
- likelihood of a horse getting that disease.
- For instance, an adequately vaccinated performance horse may derive much more significant economic benefit from
- period of rest than a barren broodmare or a "backyard" horse.
- "backyard" horses will diligently vaccinate their horse against even low-risk diseases despite the expense
- involved in order to keep their horse healthy.
