NSW horse flu quarantine 'very, very successful'

More than 84 per cent of New South Wales is now free of equine influenza (EI).
The Green Zone has been expanded to include large areas of the central tablelands, the north, north-west and south-west of the state.
The high-risk red zone has been cut to just 4 per cent of the state.
Horse Industry Council president Barry Smyth says if proper biosecurity measures are maintained, the disease should be under control by the end of January.
"Given the fact that we have a native horse population, that the disease broke out probably in the highest density horse population in Australia, and the fact that it's been able to be contained within a relatively small area of New South Wales and Queensland, it is a clear indication that the measures that have been taken have been very, very successful," he said.
