Key Findings
  • Respondents estimate that they have experienced
    losses at 522 million between August and
    December 2007.
  • 54.8 of respondents believed the overall impact
    of the Equine Influenza outbreak was between
    moderate and severe.
  • The largest area of loss estimated was for non
    profit associations.
  • Estimated losses in all categories was
    significantly higher than estimated in the
    Australian Horse Industry Councils survey
    conducted in September 2007.
  • Local non profit associations have borne the
    brunt of association losses.

Key Findings

    payments has only offset losses by 8.5
  • 33 of respondents believe that they will
    experience ongoing financial hardship beyond
    August 2008 even if Equine Influenza zones are
    extinguished by June 2008.
  • There is still a lot of anger at the special
    treatment provided to the racing industry.
  • Many respondents consider the Federal Government
    liable for the Equine Influenza outbreak.
  • There is a great deal of support for the
    Australian Horse Industry Council and DPI NSW for
    the support they have provided.
