Research
My most recent research has focused on the effect of diet on glucose
and insulin metabolism in horses, especially in relation to osteochondrosis
in young horses, and the nutritional management of stress induced immune
dysfunction. Past research was on nutrition of post-surgical and geriatric
horses and nutrition of 3-day-event and endurance horses.
