NEIT Resources
As the National Equine Identification & Traceability System is introduced into the equine industry, several resources are available to organisations. These are designed to support groups, such as breed societies, to share clear information on the project and how it affects those breeding horses in the future
This resource outlines key information on the project, such as its purpose, how it will work, and what it means for those breeding horses. NEIT is a long-term project that requires all of the industry involvement to succeed.
Basic Principles of NEIT
Breed Societies are an integral part of the NZ equine industry, being a key gateway to connect with a significant percentage of the national herd. This resource is designed to support breed societies and their members with the introduction of NEIT.
Breed Society Information
In the event of a disease incursion, MPI will request information from stud book registrars under the Biosecurity Act. Stud book registrars will be given instructions to upload bulk data via csv at the time. View this section for more details.
Bulk sharing of information
This document relates to the Terms & Conditions of the Naional Equine Identification & Traceability System. These are still in development but can be found here once live.
Terms & Conditions of NEIT
Protecting the privacy of all involved in this project is of paramount importance to the New Zealand Equine Health Association, who are the key drivers of NEIT. We are currently in the process of writing the NEIT Privacy Policy, which will be shared here in due course.
Privacy Policy
The development of the National Equine Identification & Traceability System has evolved out of the need for the equine industry to be as prepared as possible to respond quickly and efficiently to a post-border disease outbreak. Find here the supporting evidence to better understand this project and its importance.
Supporting Evidence
“We have an incredibly unique equine disease situation here in New Zealand, meaning we have some of the healthiest horses in the world. It is up to us as an industry to protect this proactively and that is what NEIT is all about.”
