Internationally recognized equine researchers will be giving presentations on the relationship between nutrition and metabolic disorders in the equine including Laminitis, Cushings, Developmental Orthopedic Disease, and Tying-up at the Mid-Atlantic Nutrition Conference. The equine session, which is part of a larger two-day conference, will be held on March 24, 2005 at the Holiday Inn Select in Timonium, Md. Veterinarians, trainers, horse breeders, and horse owners should not miss this opportunity to learn how to recognize, manage and prevent these detrimental disorders in horses.
