Lecture Hall Companion Animals (Munsterlaan 7), Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht Science Parc |
|
| 9:15- 9:30 |
Welcome and Introduction: Welcome on behalf of UU/WUR and ongoing research at the Utrecht University Clinic related to Gastrointestinal Health This track is designed specifically for equine nutrition scientists to share ongoing research, expertise, and experiences. The focus will be on various (in vitro) technologies for assessing gastrointestinal health and evaluating nutritional strategies. The session will feature contributions from experts at Utrecht University (UU), Wageningen University & Research (WUR), and the team led by Soraya Shirazi-Beechey (University of Liverpool). This workshop builds on discussions from the 9th EEHNC (Utrecht) and 11th EEHNC (Ghent), continuing the tradition of advancing equine nutrition science. Research groups may also introduce themselves to facilitate colloboration.

Cardiology & Respiration Oxygen is critical for generating the energy needed to sustain the performance of athletic horses. This workshop track explores the vital roles of the cardiac and respiratory systems in equine performance, with a focus on common pathologies that can impact these systems. Participants will also gain insights into both new and established diagnostic tools, with practical demonstrations tailored for veterinary practitioners and clinics. |
