The International Equine Colic Symposium comes to Dublin this summer

 The Equine Colic Research Symposium, to be held on July 7-10, 2014 in Dublin, Ireland, presents a unique opportunity for equine vets to absorb and digest the latest knowledge, clinical practice and scientific advances in the treatment and prevention of colic, from the world’s leading international equine gastroenterology experts.

The event, which has been running for 30 years, will be hosted by BEVA at Trinity College Dublin.

The meeting will comprise 15-minute oral presentations, covering diagnostics, epidemiology, microbiome and physiology, surgical techniques and post-operative management. Each will be followed by five minutes for questions and discussion. 

Chris Proudman, RCVS Specialist in Equine Gastroenterology, who chairs the organising committee, said: ” This is the Olympics of equine colic research. The leading practitioners and researchers from around the world will be present at the meeting to share their ideas and to discuss future challenges. For anyone involved in equine clinical practice or colic research this is a “must-go” meeting!”
