In addition to the necessary dietary recommendations, feed industry offers numerous products that need to be evaluated in the feeding practice. The seminar will cover topics such as feeding horses with exercise-induced myopathies, gastrointestinal diseases and interesting cases that occur in consultancy practice. The seminar will be a platform to discuss your specific questions about equine nutrition that arise in your practice. “
Equine respiratory cases and cytology, B. Schwarz (DE)/ S. Hansen (DK)
Thursday 14 November 13.00-16.00
At this interactive case-based workshop, we will discuss:
- Does every lower respiratory tract case be put in the "drawers" of the consensus statement with regards to mild-moderate and severe equine asthma? What about other endotypes of equine asthma?
- Eosinophils? Do they always mean a response to parasites or a hypersensitivity disorder?
- Mastocytic equine asthma, do we see an increasing prevalence worldwide or only in the Northern countries?
- Pulmonary hemorrhage; not always exercise induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH)! What other lung diseases do we have to think about?
- Rare lung diseases like equine multinodular pulmonary fibrosis (EMPF) and other interstitial pneumopathies will be discussed
- Foreign particles in tracheal wash (TW) and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) - what do they tell us? Implication for further treatment?
We encourage attendees to send in cases for discussion (emails: schwarz@pferdeinternist.de; sannih@sund.ku.dk)
