STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The North American Equine
Ranching Information Council (NAERIC) is a non-profit association
of equine ranchers engaged in horse production and management of pregnant
mares. Estrogens extracted from pregnant mares' urine (PMU) are used
in the production of a hormone replacement therapy for menopausal
women. NAERIC serves its members, the horse industry and general public
as an agribusiness resource by providing the latest information and
research on ranch management, equine care, breeding practices and
innovative marketing programs. The council is dedicated to ensuring
the NAERIC brand represents overall quality. NAERIC supports and promotes
the partnership between agriculture and women's health care.
