Luitpold Animal Health has launched a new educational campaign this year to help horse owners better understand the causes, effects, and treatments of equine degenerative joint disease.

Horse owners can obtain a new educational CD titled "Balanced joints. Sound horse." The CD is available through veterinarians or online, and it features 3-D animation, motion graphics, and digital video that take viewers inside the joint. They can see how a "balanced"joint functions, how trauma can disrupt the natural cycle of "wear and repair" within the joint, and differences between the medical treatments approved by the FDA for treatment of joint disease
