Current situation update for horse owners:
Agriculture Victoria has not been advised of any further incidents of multiple sudden deaths occurring since Friday 14 July.
Our investigation continues to suggest no common link between the reported incidents, and no evidence of an infectious cause.
To help with this investigation, we’re asking horse owners to report sudden horse deaths as soon as possible so we can ensure reliable test results.
Horse owners should always monitor their animals, conduct good parasite management and w**d control, and ensure good quality feed and water is provided.
