The Irish Equine Centre is an independent organisation whose aim is to protect the wellbeing of Ireland’s horse population. We provide Ireland's widest range of laboratory services for the diagnosis, management and prevention of diseases of horses. The IEC was awarded Irish Veterinary, Agricultural and Commercial Laboratory of the Year in 2018 against stiff competition from the human and food science areas. We serve the overall interest of the Irish equine industry with our constant vigilance aimed at maintaining Ireland's "low disease status" and ensuring international recognition of the value of the Irish horse.
