Following the successful introduction of the ‘Worm Workshop’ event held at Askham Bryan College in York last year, the TBA has brought together a panel of experts to build on those themes and discuss a holistic approach to gastrointestinal health.  The three presentations will explore the impact of helminths and common veterinary medications on the gut microbiome and describe how these may influence the long-term health and performance of the thoroughbred.  The talks will also cover important subjects, such as antimicrobial stewardship and how the thoroughbred breeding industry can play its part in safeguarding the efficacy of these hugely important drugs.  Delegates will have the opportunity to ask questions of the speakers during a guided Q&A session, to be hosted by the Chair of the TBA’s Veterinary Committee, James Crowhurst.     

Non-members can purchase a ticket for this event at £60 and be enrolled for a TBA ACCESS subscription for one year. Please note that this is a twelve-month subscription offer and will not auto-renew.
