Clinical Outcome of 14 Obese, Laminitic Horses Managed with the Same Rehabilitation Protocol Abstract
P3 and P2
Development
While equine researchers continue to

Digital Cushion Development
Once again, researchers in the dairy
industry have stepped up to the challenge of studying foot
development. The control group of calves was kept in a small
enclosure, while the treated group was walked two miles
