Equine Influenza?

Question

what were the effects on the Australian 2007/08 breeding season due to the recent outbreak?

Thank you

Answer 1

Too many to mention all but basically there was no movement of horses allowed in the eastern states, there was very little to bet on and the one that annoys me the most was my favourite sire, Encosta de lago missed out on servicing the best mare of all time, Sunline.

Answer 2

the racing industrie in australia is the forth biggest industrie in the country, it was completly shut down! a catastrophy!

Monday Aug 20 2007: Three horses at the Eastern Creek quarantine station in Sydney record

elevated temperatures.

Thursday Aug 23 2007: One of them, a stallion (ROCK OF GIBRALTA) who travelled from the northern hemisphere,(japan)

tests positive to equine influenza (EI).

Answer 3

Well I do not know about in Australia,,

But here in Arizona and in Texas,Calif. New Mexico,,

We had a Hugh all time record for Pigeon Fever ""

We had horses that where 20 yrs old get it ,, and thats alll most never happens

and many died from it .. even on treatment ,, which not much helps ,,

But Anyway ,, Somthing is very strange going on here also

P.s. DO you have CHEM TRAILS THERE ?

When jets go by way,,way,, up high and leave a trail that turn into clouds later??

I mean like over 60 of them with in a hour?

It will start out a sunny day,, Then about 11.00 am it's cloudy ?

I think they are spraying Chemicals in our sky's

And getting us and all our animals sick ''
