The national Equine Working Group has a new information booklet available
on the American
Horse Council web site. The booklet provides valuable information from the
working group
and may aid in answering questions about equine animals and National Animal
Identification
System (NAIS).

Voluntary premises registration continues in Texas, and as of May 3, 12,320
premises have been
registered. As of April 27, the USDA reports more than 252,000 premises
nationally have been registered.
To learn more about premises registration, you can go to the National
Animal Identification System web site
or the Texas Animal Health Commission web site, or call the TAHC at
1-800-550-8252.

If you cannot download the Equine Working Group booklet, please let me
know, and I'll mail you
a paper copy. Please provide your name and mailing address. Carla Everett,
TAHC
