Breeding season is well underway, and it’s important to keep EVA testing front of mind.

Breeders are encouraged to remain vigilant and ensure stallions and mares are tested for Equine Viral Arteritis (EVA) before every cover. Regular testing plays a key role in protecting breeding programmes and maintaining the health of the wider horse population.

A simple test can make a big difference in preventing the spread of disease during the busy breeding season.
