During an equine infectious disease outbreak, it’s critical that horse owners and professionals know where cases are reported and how they’re evolving as quickly as possible. That way, they can make smart travel and competition decisions to keep their horses healthy.

Equine Network, with support from Boehringer Ingelheim, has introduced a new way to stay up to date on equine infectious disease outbreaks as they happen. The Equine Disease Communication Center Health Watch text alerts notify horse owners, veterinarians and barn managers when a disease in their area is reported to the EDCC. To sign up, simply select the state(s) or region(s) for which you want to receive alerts using this link.
