The Kentucky Horse Council has announced the topic for the February Kentucky Equine Networking Association (KENA) dinner: "EHV-1 101: What Do I Need to Know?"

The dinner will be held Feb. 21 at the Fasig-Tipton dining room in Lexington, Kentucky. The event will feature a networking reception from 5:30-6:00 p.m. followed by dinner with the main speakers from 6-8 p.m.

Focused on the Kentucky Thoroughbred, sport, and pleasure horse community, KENA is charged with providing an educational and social venue for equine professionals and horse enthusiasts from all disciplines. It is organized by the Kentucky Horse Council and supported by the University of Kentucky Ag Equine Program, and provides the opportunity for attendees to share ideas, business strategies, and knowledge, and to obtain up-to-date information on horse and farm management.

With horses testing positive for EHV-1 in Kentucky in January, the February topic is very timely. Kenton Morgan, DVM, Dipl. ACT, an equine technical services veterinarian with Zoetis, will discuss the different strains of EHV-1 and the risks associated with each. Joe Lyman, DVM, MS, a professional services veterinarian with Neogen Corporation, will discuss biosecurity and how to minimize the risk to your horse at home or while traveling. And Rusty Ford, equine programs manager for the Kentucky State Veterinarian’s Office, will provide an update on the status of the EHV-1 outbreak in Kentucky and protocols put in place by the State Veterinarian’s Office
