FEIL is staffed by Department of Community Affairs personnel.

Georgia Animal Industry - Equine Health Our equine health section is responsible for enforcing the Humane Care for Equines Act, the Equine Act of 1969, and excerpts of the Animal Protection Act. Enforcement of these laws is achieved through the inspection of equine sales, abuse complaints, stables and events. We also manage the Equine Infectious Anemia Control Program.
The Animal Protection Act requires all stables that charge a fee for boarding, holding, training, breeding, riding, pulling vehicles, or similar purposes to be licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture. All equine at these facilities must be provided with adequate food, water, and shelter. Stable owners must maintain records of current, negative Equine Infectious Anemia tests, purchases and sales.
