Panel Discussion - Nutritional Management of the Thin/Starved Animal

Course overview

Poor condition in horses arises from a multitude of causes including those associated with direct human behavior (ranging from deliberate neglect to ignorance) as well as many clinical conditions including those associated with various gastro-intestinal, dental, renal and hepatic issues. In some cases, the underlying cause(s) are fairly obvious but for many, the veterinary clinician will be required to undertake a detailed, logical, stepwise and holistic approach to the case. Join our international multidisciplinary team of world-leading experts as they discuss their approach to these cases and share their wealth of experience. They will discuss and debate how nutrition can be a part of the cause as well as part of the solution and how it is essential in the successful rehabilitation of these horses. This panel discussion will outline the approach to the thin/starved animal and consider how best to utilize feeds and feeding management in their short- and long-term management.
