Really great free lecture opportunity! 🐑

Webinar “Abortion and Respiratory Diseases in Sheep and Goats” on August 27 (Tuesday) from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m (CT) promoted by the University of Missouri .
The guest speaker is Dr. Maggie Highland, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVP. Registration is required: https://extension.missouri.edu/events/abortion-and-respiratory-disease-in-sheep-goats
The loss of lambs and kids due to abortion directly reduces the number of offspring, impacting the overall productivity and profitability of the flock. Respiratory diseases can impair productivity which translate into financial loss for the producer. Managing outbreaks of abortion and respiratory diseases often requires significant intervention, including diagnostics, treatments, and preventative measures.
Dr. Highland is the section head of pathology sciences, Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, University of Wisconsin-Madison. She maintains a strong interest in small ruminant health and disease, particularly infectious disease processes and immunology.
This webinar is hosted/facilitated by Dr. David Brown (University of Missouri Sheep & Goats Specialist).

If one of your horses seems to be minding the heat more than the others, check to make sure they are producing sweat!

Summer is in full swing and it's only going to get hotter! ☀️

Unfortunately, some of our equine friends struggle to sweat properly in the summer heat, which can put them at an increased risk of heat stress.

Though there is limited evidence in regard to effective treatments for horses diagnosed with anhidrosis (the inability to sweat properly), there are a few therapies that have been proposed to help, including offering horses dark beer!

Overall, watch closely for signs of heat stress if your horse is diagnosed with anhidrosis. During the summer months, monitor your horse's response to the heat and ensure they are sweating an appropriate amount. If you have concerns about your horse's ability to sweat, please contact your veterinarian.

Thank you to the Horse Owner Education Committee for providing this information.

Well said! ♥️🐴

How much weight can a horse carry?

In my experience, a horse can carry an infinite amount.

They can carry the weight of broken hearts, broken homes, and broken bodies. Countless tears sometimes comb their tangled manes. Moments when parents and friends cannot be there to help and hold a person, horses embrace and empower. They carry physical, mental, and emotional handicaps. They carry hopes and dreams; and they will carry the stress from your day when you can’t carry it anymore.

They carry graduations, they carry new careers, they carry moves away from everything familiar, they carry marriages, they carry divorces, they carry funerals, they carry babies before they are born, and sometimes they carry the mothers who cannot carry their own baby. They carry mistakes, they carry joy, they carry the good and they carry the bad. They carry drugs and addictions, but they also carry the celebrations.

They will carry you to success when all you have felt is failure. They will carry you, never knowing the weight of your burdens and triumphs.

If you let them, they will carry you through life, and life is hard, life is heavy. But a horse will make you feel weightless under it all.

Big thanks to all the veterinary staff that helped race day go smoothly!

Veterinarians from the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission and the Churchill Downs equine safety team have their eyes on today’s runners from the moment they leave their stalls. But the scrutiny and assessment started two weeks ago, with daily observation during training and required veterinary exams by both private and regulatory veterinarians.

That’s Dr. Nick Smith of the KHRC observing the horses in the paddock during an earlier race today. If you’d like to learn about the many safety protocols in place at Churchill Downs, visit https://www.churchilldowns.com/horsemen/equine-safety/
