VIDEO: Equine Digestive Health: From Gastric Ulcers to Leaky Gut Syndrome

By USEA

This year, the USEA Annual Meeting & Convention has gone virtual! All week from Tuesday, December 8 through Friday, December 11, we will be bringing you live interactive webinars and on demand educational content that you can enjoy from the comfort of your home. The Virtual Convention will culminate with the USEA Annual Meeting & Keynote Address on Saturday, December 12 at 2:00 p.m. ET.

In this presentation from our partners at Nutrena Feeds, Equine Nutritionist Abby Keegan walks through the function of the equine digestive system, explains the different ways horses handle (or don't handle!) stress, discusses some of the different problems that can arise from stress in the horse's digestive system, and things we can do to help support our horses.
