New Website Features UK’s Historic Parasitology Horse Herds
The equine parasitology group at the University of Kentucky (UK) Gluck Equine Research Center has launched a new website to increase awareness of two unique horse herds maintained at the university for more than 40 years.
The website features the history of these equine parasitology research herds that have resided at UK since the 1970s. Martin Nielsen, PhD, associate professor and Schlaikjer Professor of Equine Infectious Disease at the Gluck Center, manages the site content.
“We felt it was time to tell this unique story,” Nielsen said. “My colleague, Dr. Eugene T. Lyons (PhD), established these herds back when drug-resistant parasites were not the common finding. Dr. Lyons knew how these herds would become extremely valuable down the road. What an incredible foresight.”
