Lovely evening had by all

Our Equine Clinical Studies Research Group recently travelled to Clifden, Co Galway to present the results of equine endocrine research to a group of Connemara pony breeders. Many thanks to Clifden Veterinary Surgeon Niamh Walsh who organised the event & also helped to facilitate the research.

Call For Equine Parasite Control Focus Group Volunteers!

A research team led by Nicola Walshe from the UCD School of Veterinary Medicine is looking for horse owners willing to discuss a set of new Irish best practice parasite control guidelines, to ensure they are both practical and implementable for horse owners nationwide.

By taking part in a once-off, 2-hour focus group you can help curb the rise in parasite resistance to anti-parasitic drugs (wormers). If you:

* Care about preserving the efficacy of wormers for Irish horses
* Have horses at home or in livery
* Are available in-person or online, on 27 or 28 of February (in the afternoon)

Please consider contributing by emailing Christiane O'Brien ([email protected]) for more details.

Participants will also be invited to ask Nicola Walshe a question about parasite control in their own horse(s).

This project is funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food & the Marine.

Har du ICSI embryoner i fryseren⁉️🙋. Vidste du, at drægtighedsprocenten er højst, når græsset gror🌻? Ja, det lyder som en gammel skrøne, men det er faktisk rigtigt. Hvis vi kigger på alt vores data de seneste 4 år, så er drægtighedsprocenten i marts, april og maj måned næsten 20 procent højere, end hvis vi sammenligner med juni og juli måned! Det giver virkelig stof til eftertanke🤓

Så hvis du ved, at du gerne vil have dit ICSI embryon overført i år, så tøv endelig ikke🏃‍♂️💨 Kontakt os gerne, hvis du har brug for hjælp til at planlægge klargøringen af din rugehoppe og selve overførslen. Vi er klar!👌

T***k Allen leaves such a lasting legacy. Any one us involved in equine reproduction from the use of ultrasound to embryo transfer to the very basics of pregnancy phyiosology have him to thank.

Beyond the scientific brilliance he was also one of the wittiest, kindest and most generous people you could meet. I feel privileged to have gotten to meet and spend time with him (and share a few G&T’s!)
