Kentucky Equine Research's upcoming Equine Nutrition Conference on Feeding and Veterinary Management of the Sport Horse will offer two days of educational lectures on the health, nutrition, and management of sport horses. It will also qualify attending veterinarians and veterinary technicians for 12 hours of Continuing Education credits in jurisdictions that recognize AAVSB RACE approval.
The American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) regulates Continuing Education through its 57 member veterinary licensing boards.
The prevention and management of joint disease in the sport horse will be among the topics discussed at this year's Kentucky Equine Research (KER) Nutrition Conference, held this year on April 26-27 in Lexington, Ky. Along with veterinarians and veterinary technicians, horse owners are invited to attend.
Presentations on Monday (April 26) will be in-depth scientific topics, while Tuesday's schedule covers practical management of sport horses and is geared toward horse owners, competitors, trainers, managers, vet techs, veterinarians, and others who have hands-on involvement with horses.
