The Equine Information Document (EID) is a document that records the drug use and medical history of an animal for six months prior to slaughter. Not all veterinary products and supplements used in the equine industry are approved for use in equines intended for slaughter. Some of these substances may contain residues that make equine products unfit for consumption. To help ensure consumer confidence in safe Canadian equine products, any equine entering the food chain must be accompanied by an EID.
