Equine Growth Seminars begin June 21

A series of equine growth research seminars, presented by Saracen Horse Feeds in conjunction with the Kentucky Equine Research, begins Tuesday, June 21, continuing through June 23. The two live seminars will be staged at the Millenium Suite at Newmarket June 21 followed by the Owner's Club at Newbury June 23. For those unable to attend in person, an online webinar will be held Wednesday, June 22. Open to breeders, vets, farriers and all thoroughbred industry professionals, the sessions have been accredited the CPD Certification Service.

KER is responsible for a worldwide investigation into the relationship between the size and growth rates of foals and their racing career performance. Data collected by KER's partners in the U.S., Europe and Australia have been analysed to assess whether size is significantly associated with radiographic findings, and how growth measurements, alongside any regional, environmental and seasonal effects, are related to skeletal soundness, and sales and racing performance.

During the sessions, the findings will be discussed with a panel of veterinary specialists. The goals of these studies are to identify at-risk foals earlier, modify feed and management practices to reduce problems in racehorses.

President and Founder of Kentucky Equine Research, Dr. Joe Pagan has led research on the effects of nutrition and growth for more than 30 years.

“Kentucky Equine Research works with dozens of feed manufacturers worldwide to ensure that the latest findings in equine nutrition science are utilised in real-world feeding programmes.. Saracen is an excellent example of our partnership programme at its best–we collaborate on studies, bring expertise in formulation, and provide custom software and technical service for their outstanding team of nutrition advisors.”
