Global insurer Lloyd’s of London presented the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture a check for $45,000 on Sept. 22, in continuing support of Equine Disease Quarterly, an equine health research publication produced by the Department of Veterinary Science.

The award-winning publication provides timely research-based reports on some of the most important issues facing the equine industry. The publication currently reaches more than 18,000 readers in 93 countries. Available on the Internet, its articles are regularly abstracted by a variety of scientific and lay equine publications worldwide.

“The Maxwell H. Gluck Equine Research Center serves Kentucky and the international equine health community with the latest information on equine health,” said UK President Lee T. Todd Jr. “Lloyds’ sponsorship of the Equine Disease Quarterly makes it possible to reach this community with key information and strategies to mitigate disease. The Gluck Center, with Lloyd’s help, exemplifies UK’s commitment to research that makes a difference, in this case, to the world.”

This 2009 donation represents Lloyd’s 28th year of collaboration with the Department of Veterinary Science, with nearly $900,000 of support
