It is often said the best gifts keep on giving. That certainly can be said about the gift of $35,000 given by Lloyd’s of London Underwriters, Brokers, and their Kentucky Agents to the University of Kentucky’s Department of Veterinary Science for continued support of the Equine Disease Quarterly.

Lloyd’s continued support now helps to bring this award-winning international equine disease publication to over 15,000 recipients. It is also available on the World Wide Web, and is translated and abstracted into several languages, including Spanish and Japanese.

“As the horse industry has become more global in nature, so have opportunities for the spread of equine diseases,” said Julian Lloyd, chairman of the Lloyd’s Livestock Committee. “We support the Equine Disease Quarterly because we know the value and impact of disease awareness worldwide and this provides us an opportunity to give something of significance back to the horse industry.”

“As Lloyd’s Kentucky Agents, we are very much aware of the potential health and economic ramifications that equine infectious diseases pose to our livestock and our state,” said Bobby Owens, president of Lloyd’s Kentucky Agents. “With Lloyd’s coverage reaching 1981 levels, we are very proud to support the Equine Disease Quarterly which keeps the industry informed of disease occurrences on a regional, national and international basis
