National Farm and Facility Level Biosecurity User Guide for the Equine Sector
Annex 1: Development of the user guide and acknowledgements
The user guide was developed through a partnership of Equestrian Canada and the CFIA in collaboration with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. An advisory committee representing a broad cross-section of the industry comprised of equine owners, subject matter experts, provincial government officials, representatives from regional and sector-specific equine industry organizations, academics, and the public sector, provided invaluable guidance throughout the process.
The user guide augments the National Farm and Facility Level Biosecurity Standard for the Equine Sector and provides additional details and guidance on achieving the biosecurity goals.
