My Department recently wrote to the managers of some of the principal marts reminding them of the provisions of these regulations. A publicity campaign is being arranged to remind the general public of the regulations on identification of equidae. Department Officers will also carry out random compliance checks with regard to identification documents at sales, ports and other places where horses are assembled.
