Understanding Salmonella Susceptibility in Horses
Researchers will identify horse breeds most susceptible to Salmonella and determine which antibiotics would provide the greatest benefit to stricken animals.

Researchers will search for genetic markers associated with an increased risk for equine metabolic syndrome, a disorder in horses characterized by insulin resistance, obesity and susceptibility to laminitis.
Researchers will evaluate a new culture technique to grow stem cells less likely to be rejected by the patient during treatment.
Researchers will investigate a genetic predisposition in Friesian horses to an eye disorder, bilateral corneal stromal loss, which can cause vision loss.
Researchers will evaluate the effects of increased weight loads carried by horses to provide science-based recommendations to the equine industry and address potential welfare concerns.
Using cultured cells, researchers will study how the horse's immune system responds to endotoxins, toxic substances in bacteria responsible for many horse diseases, including gastrointestinal disease and foal sepsis.
Researchers will evaluate the effectiveness of a new surgical suture technique to improve upper airway function in horses with recurrent laryngeal neuropathy, a common upper respiratory disease in horses.
