Infectious Disease Update - a look back at 2020
About this Talk
A pre-recorded webinar taking a look back at infectious disease in 2020.
After several years as a veterinary surgeon working in general mixed practice, in 1994 Richard joined the Animal Health Trust. At the AHT, as well as gaining an MSc, PhD and FRCVS, he acquired a breadth of experience in the epidemiology, surveillance and control of a range of equine infectious diseases, including influenza, strangles and equine herpesvirus. Having established Equine Infectious Disease Surveillance (EIDS) as a new initiative at the BHA, the EIDS team transferred to Cambridge Vet School in November 2021, still providing global disease surveillance and advice on disease prevention strategies and management of outbreaks. He sits on several equine industry advisory boards.

Free-to-view: Traceability - why it matters and what you need to know
Every thoroughbred has a story and traceability is how we make sure that story doesn't get lost along the way. From registration with the General Stud Book to covering certificates, ownership changes and career moves, each stage is a touchpoint.
Miss one, and a gap opens up in the record of where that horse is and who's responsible for it.
The Thoroughbred Breeders' Association (TBA) set out to tackle these data gaps as closing them is a shared responsibility, from the breeder who registers the foal to the owner who takes it on years later.
To help make sense of it all, the TBA has launched a new animatied resource and it's free to view.
