From Signs to Solutions: Tackling Common Infectious Diseases in Horses
Enalees were delighted to sponsor its 1st webinar addressed to all vet teams (vets & nurses).
The team at EIDS (Equine Infectious Disease Surveillance) discussed and informed on the most common infectious diseases seen in the UK equine population. The lecture included valuable insights from the diagnosis, to accurate and rapid testing, through to effective management and the importance of integrating and collaborating with surveillance.
