Kentucky Equine Research (KER) will be featured on the Discovery Channel's hit series "Dirty Jobs," airing on Tuesday, Nov. 30, 2010, at 9 p.m. EST.

According to the show's website, "Dirty Jobs" profiles the unsung American laborers who make their living in the most unthinkable–yet vital–ways. Host Mike Rowe introduces viewers to a hardworking group of men and women who overcome fear, danger, and sometimes stench to accomplish their daily tasks.

While "Dirty Jobs" was initially interested in KER's research because of feeding trials that involve the collection of fresh urine and feces from horses, the production staff soon realized that the science behind KER's work was just as interesting as the dirty jobs they hoped to find there.

Dave Barsky, head producer of "Dirty Jobs," wasn't very far into the day's filming when he told KER Global Marketing Manager Kim Brown that he thought the Discovery Channel audience would love the educational slant of what KER did, as well as the dirty aspect
