About the Course

Join us to know more than the owner and feed your clinical cases to optimise recovery.

Whether it's a conversation with an owner about their overweight horse, examining a geriatric pony with weight loss or formulating nutrition for an orphan foal, tailored nutrition is the cornerstone of every equine case we see in veterinary practice. We regularly treat a variety of conditions such laminitis and colic, but are we always confident about the best feeding advice to give our clients? And how often do we walk into a tack room full of the 'latest' supplements and wonder if any of them actually work?

This course will look at a range of clinical conditions and allow you to build evidence-based feeding advice into your treatment plans, formulate diets for any age of horse and see which supplements are worth the internet hype!

Our expert speakers will also be providing a plethora of practical tips for everything from the anorexic pony to the stubborn weight loss case.

Key Learning Objectives

• Confidently approach the feed room on any livery yard and give up to date advice on what the owner should be feeding
• Learn how to formulate the perfect diet for any age of horse from the orphan foal to the geriatric equine
• Maximise your treatment of clinical diseases such as laminitis, liver failure, colic and diarrhoea by feeding tailored to suit each case
• Develop an understanding of the evidence behind many supplements and which ones stand up to scrutiny
• Learn top tips for adapting diets to suit the fussy horse (or owner!), a range of budgets and all types of stable and pasture management

	Very good. Really enjoyed that it was short talks and the change of pace within the topic of nutrition. Great speakers with lots of enthusiasm.
