GRV GRADING SCHEDULE - AUSTRALIA DAY 2021

INCREASE IN KENNEL COUGH CASES BEING REPORTED

Participants are advised that there appears to be an increase in the number of greyhounds with symptoms of Kennel Cough being reported to vets over the past week. Symptoms have been relatively mild (husky cough) and short lived (72 hours).

If you suspect your greyhound may have Kennel Cough or has been exposed to a greyhound with Kennel Cough, you MUST scratch them from any races you are nominated in, do not trial them or take them to other communal training facilities, and withdraw them from GAP intakes. Allowing Kennel Cough cases to spread will impact on all aspects of the industry, including GAP intakes, and so minimising their contact with other greyhounds and ensuring good hygiene/biosecurity practices is vital to limiting spread and impact.

If you have not had your greyhounds vaccinated for Kennel Cough in the last 6-12 months, please ensure you speak to your veterinarian about improving their immunity by giving a booster vaccination now. While not effective against all forms of Kennel Cough, we know the intra-nasal or oral vaccine is faster acting and more likely to be effective than an injectable vaccine.

For more information including clinical signs, biosecurity information, vaccination considerations and avoiding a positive swab to cough medicines, please click here and here.

Contact vets@grv.org.au if you require further information.

**IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT**

In line with the State government’s announcements relating to a further easing of restrictions, pre-entry temperature testing at race meetings will cease immediately, Monday 7 December 2020. Everyone MUST continue to carry a face mask on their person at all times.

 Face masks will remain MANDATORY in the following circumstances;

• At all times when inside the kennel block, Vet’s room & Stewards room, and
• Loading a greyhound in the boxes, and
• Catching a greyhound

Where there is pressure to maintain a minimum of 1.5m to social distance in other outdoor settings, masks MUST be worn.

The QR code registration process is mandatory and GRIU officials will continue to monitor compliance with this and all other COVID protocols.
