Teams of veterinarians and farriers from around the country gathered at the fifth International Conference on Laminitis and Diseases of the Foot in Monterey, California, Sept. 17-18, 2010, to discuss the most cutting-edge information available for the fight to conquer laminitis. This devastating hoof disease is caused by an inflammation of the horse’s laminae—interlocking leaf-like tissues attaching the hoof to the coffin bone.
Presentations included topics such as preventing laminitis in at-risk horses; understanding nutritional risks in laminitic horses; equine metabolic syndrome and laminitis; and managing insulin resistance through diet and exercise.
This free report provides the horse owner and caretaker with synopses of some of the conference presentations.
