Prevention & Management : What to do when an outbreak occurs ?
Have you ever been in a situation where you were not able to distinguish a simple cough from a real disease which could have dramatic outcomes for a horse and potentially contaminate the whole herd?
When suspicion arises, the initial diagnostic relies on a precise examination by a veterinarian and an early pathogen identification through diagnosis.
