dvm360 Staff

Five researchers will each receive $15,000 to continue their investigations on respiratory conditions in horses.

Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) has announced the recipients of the 2019 Advancement in Equine Research Awards, honoring veterinarians dedicated to researching equine infectious respiratory disease and equine asthma syndrome.

The awards, which were presented in December at the American Association of Equine Practitioners Annual Convention in Denver, are a part of BI’s mission to help improve equine patient’s health and quality of life, according to a press release.

“As a global leader in equine health, Boehringer Ingelheim is committed to supporting equine research and its role in helping understand, diagnose and prevent disease,” says Steve Grubbs, DVM, PhD, DACVIM, equine technical manager for BI. “With these research awards, we hope to help make great strides in the industry’s ability to address equine respiratory disease and equine asthma syndrome.”
