Grayson-Funded Research Advances Cryotherapy for Laminitis Prevention in Horses

Grayson-Funded Research Advances Cryotherapy for Laminitis Prevention in Horses

Recent research funded by the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation has highlighted the effectiveness of cryotherapy in preventing laminitis in horses. Laminitis is a severe condition affecting the hoof, often leading to significant pain and potential death. The study, led by Dr. Andrew Van Eps and his team, demonstrates that cooling the lower limbs of horses can significantly reduce the risk of laminitis, particularly in high-risk horses. This method, known as therapeutic foot cooling, has shown promise in both preventing the onset of laminitis and improving outcomes when applied early in the disease's progression. The research has been applied successfully to several high-profile Thoroughbreds, including Lady Eli and Bal a Bali, who returned to racing post-treatment.

Kentucky Agriculture Advises on Tick Prevention for Livestock and Pets Amid Rising Infestations

Kentucky Agriculture Advises on Tick Prevention for Livestock and Pets Amid Rising Infestations

As Kentucky enters a warmer season, the state is experiencing an increase in tick populations, posing risks to humans, pets, and livestock. The state's humid climate, abundant pastures, and forest edges create ideal habitats for various tick species, including the lone star tick, American dog tick, blacklegged tick, and the invasive Asian longhorned tick (ALHT). These ticks are known to transmit pathogens that can cause diseases such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and bovine theileriosis. The ALHT is particularly concerning due to its ability to reproduce asexually, leading to rapid population growth. The Kentucky Office of the State Veterinarian has already reported cattle deaths linked to theileriosis and severe tick infestations.
