NZ horses banned from Ausse .

Recommended Posts

The export of New Zealand racehorses to Australia has been suspended just weeks after returning post-lockdown, after a thoroughbred broodmare tested positive for the disease piroplasmosis.

Equine Piroplasmosis is a disease which can cause fevers, anemia and swelling in horses, and is usually transmitted by ticks or in very rare cases by contaminated medical equipment like needles being used on different horses.  The mare who tested positive was only detected when she had another blood test as required before she was to be flown to Australia to be mated .

Veterinary experts are confident the latest setback to the New Zealand racing industry will be temporary  . Until the Ministry of Primary Industries has investigated the positive and reported back to Australian authorities, the flights will remain grounded. "Australia requires us to have no piroplasmosis in the country for at least three years.
