The Equine Cushing’s and Insulin Resistance Group (ECIR Group) recently announced plans for the First Annual No Laminitis! Conference to take place on Aug. 5-7, 2011, hosted by Black Horse Consulting in conjunction with DeMario Farms of Chittenango, N.Y.

Laminitis has always been a central theme of the ECIR Group, as it is often the first sign that leads to a diagnosis of equine cushing’s disease or insulin resistance and was once considered a death sentence.

Keynote speakers for the No Laminitis conference include Eleanor M. Kellon, VMD, and Robert M. Bowker, VMD, PhD. Lecture topics will include the diagnosis and treatment of equine cushing’s disease and insulin resistance, physiology of the equine foot, trimming the laminitic and foundered hoof, and balanced nutrition.

Kellon is co-owner and moderator of the ECIR Group and principal of Equine Nutritional Solutions of Robesonia, Pa. Kellon is an authority in the field of equine nutrition as well as conditions affecting equine cushing’s disease and insulin resistance
