Live Q & A Session

Equine Grass Sickness (EGS)

A devastating disease with an 80% fatality rate that can occur anywhere in temperate areas of the world where equids are kept. Cases go back over 100 years, but the cause remains unknown. Research hampered by a lack of samples from EGS cases and co-grazer control -

our presenters explain how we can aid critical research progress, leading to a worldwide understanding of the triggers and causes of the disease - and in turn, the answers that will ultimately protect equines in the future.
