URGENT LOCK DOWN OF ALL HORSES

A complete standstill has been declared in Victoria on all movements of horses, including donkeys and mules,
by the Department of Primary Industries in an effort to control the spread of equine influenza and to prevent it from
becoming established in Australia.

The standstill begins at 4.30pm today (25 August 2007) for 72 hours or until further notice. Any horses in transit should return to the property they departed from and all other horses are to remain at their current location until further notice.

Please forward the below information to all of your industry contacts.

For further information see the attached document or call the Victorian Equine Influenza hotline on 1800 678 779.
