The WALTHAM® Equine Studies Group has had a record number of abstracts accepted for the Equine Science Society’s forthcoming Symposium to be held in Nashville, USA, at the end of May 2011.

The WALTHAM® Equine Studies Group, headed by Professor Pat Harris MA PhD, VetMB DipECVCN MRCVS, provides the scientific support for the SPILLERS® and WINERGY® brands. The Equine Science Society is a prestigious international organisation based in the USA, established to promote quality research on equine nutrition and physiology.

In fulfilment of its aims to share knowledge to help improve the health, welfare, behaviour and performance of horses throughout the world, WALTHAM®, together with its various collaborators, has had 12 abstracts accepted by the Equine Science Society to be presented at this year’s Symposium. The diverse range of research topics includes studies on aspects of grazing behaviour and grass intake, gut microflora, body condition scores of competing leisure horses and the responses of ponies as well as horses to dietary glucose.

Sarah Kitson, Marketing Manager of Mars Horsecare UK said: “We are fortunate to work with many leading international research institutions, which enables us continually to break new ground in many aspects of equine nutritional science. We are all extremely proud of our achievements, not just in terms of our presence at ESS this year but also, and more importantly, in terms of the continual, practical application of our knowledge to improve the health and welfare of horses and ponies worldwide.”
