SA Equine Health & Protocols NPC (SAEHP) has announced that the British Government has confirmed a decision permitting the direct import of live horses from South Africa to Great Britain.Following a positive assessment of South Africa's disease control measures, imports will be permitted from the approved vector-protected quarantine station in Cape Town, for registered equines complying with UK import conditions.This milestone is a result of sustained collaboration between SAEHP, the South African Department of Agriculture and the Western Cape Department of Agriculture in maintaining South Africa's equine disease control measures to the highest international standard and translating that credibility into real market access.It follows South Africa's opening of imports from Dubai, New Zealand and Australia earlier this year, making two-way trade a reality for the South African equine industry.The post UK Opens Direct Equine Export Route from South Africa appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
