South African Equine Health & Protocols NPC
SAEHP is a team of professionals working in partnership with Government to protect the health of the national equine herd and open export routes to the world.
SAEHP administer the movement control regulation for horses moving into the AHS control zone or between the different AHS control zones. SAEHP also administer the application for permission to vaccinate for AHS within the control zones and run regular community awareness programmes and outreach campaigns.
The South African African Horse Sickness controlled area is defined by zones (Free, Surveillance and Protection) delineated from the AHS infected area which is the rest of South Africa. These zones have been established in both South African law Animal Diseases Act – 36 of 1984 and as part of the EU protocol, specifically 2001/622/EC which amended the initial zoning boundaries as described in the annex of Decision 97/10/EC.
