Horses return to Vic after Equine Influenza

The first Victorian horses stranded in New South Wales and Queensland by the outbreak of Equine Influzena will return home today.
A ban on the movement of horses has been relaxed.
Thoroughbred horses have been brought across the New South Wales border this morning.
Another 46 recreational horses cross into Victoria later today.
The Chief Veterinarian with the Department of Primary Industries, Hugh Millar, says all horses will be placed in quarantined for at least three days.
"There are protocols for horses that have had EI and recovered. So they have relatively short periods of quarantine at their origin and three days at their destination," he said.
"But there are other horses that have been vaccinated and they will require weeks of quarantine before they come."
