The Animal Health Trust (AHT) is looking for horse owners and vets to get involved in a new study into pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID).
PPID, also known as Cushing’s syndrome, is the most common hormonal disorder in older horses and ponies in the UK. In order to better target the study to answer questions around PPID that owners and vets want to know, the researchers are asking for help and suggestions.
If you own or care for a horse or pony with PPID, or are a vet who treats them, researchers want to hear from you! Further information about the study can be on the Animal Health Trust website. Project investigator Becky Tatum can be contacted via email at becky.tatum@aht.org.uk or telephone 01638 751000 (ext 1241).
