Following last years Senate inquiry into the feasibility of a National Horse Traceability database, there has been a growing interest to examine how this can be achieved.
In a positive move, EV and RA have reached an agreement to exchange data to allow for a more accurate tracing of Thoroughbreds as part of a two year trial.
The organisations have agreed to share the microchip number, registered name and location.
The AHIC continue to work behind the scenes to help promote the next stages of investigation of the creation of a practical National Horse Traceability Database and will keep you updated on developments, including how AHIC members can be involved and have your say.
Further information about the agreement between EV and RA is available here.
