Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion

5:00 pm

Mr. Denis Duggan:

Again we do not know the specifics of the individual case. All we know is what was shown by RTÉ. Dr. Egan touched on this earlier in answering another question. A marking chart is required, whether it is for an identity document or studbook passport. It is completed by the vet. Weatherbys will have one for a thoroughbred as well. It records any of the marks on the horse's coat.
