A report highlighting the day-to-day impact of clinical veterinary research has been launched by veterinary group Linnaeus.

Research to Reality: The Impact of Clinical Veterinary Research can be downloaded for free at bit.ly/42KFrMK. It features studies by Linnaeus Associates on periodontal disease in cats, mobility changes in dogs, equine colic, and immune-mediated polyarthritis. Other articles focus on the clinic-based training of student veterinary nurses, antimicrobial stewardship guidelines, and how clinical and research roles can be combined.

Linnaeus provides a range of advisory and financial support to Associates pursuing clinical research. In 2023 its Open Access Publication Charge (OAPC) funded 35 original studies and case reports to be published in peer-reviewed open access veterinary journals, which enabled more than 80 Linnaeus Associates to share their findings with the wider profession.

Research to Reality also features articles by experts outside of Linnaeus. Dr Sara Owczarczak-Garstecka, Canine Behaviour Research Studies Manager at Dogs Trust, writes about supporting dogs during fireworks season – while Dr Carol Gray, Principal Lecturer in Veterinary Nursing at Hartpury University, considers the importance of informed consent in research.

Dr Luisa De Risio, Clinical Research & Excellence Director at Linnaeus, said:

“The veterinary profession continues to explore and innovate in science, enabling us to introduce life-changing treatments and support for conditions ranging from feline infectious peritonitis to the management of osteoarthritis. While we may stretch the boundaries of our knowledge, it is for a very simple reason – to help pets lead happy, healthy lives.

“Our latest insight report highlights the day-to-day impact of high-quality clinical research and shares these learnings with our peers. It features studies that have tangible, practical outcomes for our patients, our clients and each other.”

Led by Dr De Risio, the clinical research team at Linnaeus helps its Associates to undertake and publish studies through guidance, training and financial support. In addition to the OAPC, 15 Associates received five grants in 2023 to undertake studies in areas including ophthalmology, orthopaedic surgery and auto-immune disease.

As part of Mars, Linnaeus Associates can also collaborate with partners across the Mars Petcare ecosystem – this includes Royal Canin, a global leader in health nutrition for cats and dogs, and science centre Waltham Petcare Science Institute.

Research to Reality is the latest in a series of award-winning insight reports published by Linnaeus, which have included articles by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, Investors in the Environment, Waltham Petcare Science Institute, The Kennel Club Genetics Centre and Nottingham Trent University.
