Several equine researchers from the University of Kentucky (UK) College of Agriculture attended the Equine Science Society (ESS) symposium May 31-June 3 in Murfreesboro, Tenn. The National Association of Equine Affiliated Academics (NAEAA) was held in conjunction with ESS May 30-31.

ESS is held every two years in different locations and promotes quality research on equine nutrition, reproductive physiology production, and management, teaching, and extension. The event is set up to establish effective communication among researchers, teachers, extension, and production personnel.

Following are titles of research presented at ESS by UK researchers (in bold below). The abstracts were published in the May/June 2011 issue of the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science.
