20.01.2022 Are you heading away these Christmas holidays and have to leave your equine friend behind? Three Tips for a Stress Free Christmas Break 1 Get them checked at least once a day. 2 Let there be shade in the paddock. 3 Ensure all gates and fences are secure.

19.01.2022 A huge congratulations to Dr Jessica Wise on winning the Luis Monreal Award for the best resident’s presentation. Jess presented three abstracts at the European College of Equine Internal Medicine Annual Congress this year. All three abstracts were a part of her Doctorate of Veterinary Studies thesis, which she completed whilst completing her residency in Equine Internal Medicine at Charles Sturt University from 2017 to August 2020. The abstract entitled ‘Intragastric pH o...f foals admitted to the intensive care unit’ explored the pH of gastric fluid in neonatal foals that were presented to hospital for treatment of various conditions, and concluded that the indiscriminate use of gastroprotectants such as omeprazole may not be necessary and these foals did not have increased gastric acidity. This award allows Jess's research to be presented at the annual conference for the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine in 2021. A very proud achievement for Jessica!

18.01.2022 Why do foals need to have colostrum? When foals are born they are extremely susceptible to infections caused by bacteria or viruses found in the environment, due to Immunoglobulins not being transferred during pregnancy. The immunity from the mother lasts 6 - 12 weeks at which stage the foals own immune system should be functioning and producing its own protection. Without ingestion of sufficient quantity or quality of colostrum the foal is at risk of developing life-threatening conditions.

17.01.2022 For those who still have foals to be born, take a listen to Dr Pete Carrigan as he talks about the important topic of management in newborn foals

07.01.2022 Good Health is vital when preparing your dry mare for the season. Before starting on any breeding journey, it is important to make sure your mare’s general health is as good as it can be. Arrange for all routine care to be done before starting the breeding process. This would include yearly vaccinations, a dental check-up and deworming. Remember, what’s good for the mare is good for the foal!

01.01.2022 FUN FACT An IgG test is typically performed when the foal is 12-24 hours old. A sample of blood is collected and the level of immunoglobulins that the foal has absorbed is determined. An IgG result of >8g/L (>800mg/dL) indicates that there has been adequate transfer. An IgG result of 4-8g/L (400-800mg/dL) indicates a Partial Failure of Passive Transfer... An IgG result of <4g/L (<400mg/dL) is referred to as Failure of Passive Transfer. There are a number of different IgG tests that can be performed either on farm or by your veterinarian.
