BEVA to host Equine Colic Research Symposium
Event is to be held during July in Dublin, Ireland.

BEVA have announced their two-and-a-half day Equine Colic Research Symposium is to be held at Trinity College Dublin, on July 7-10, 2014.

This unique event allows equine vets to absorb the latest knowledge, clinical practice and scientific advances in the treatment and prevention of colic from leading experts in equine gastroenterology.

Over the past 30 years, BEVA has shared the responsibility of organising the triennial meeting with the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP), hosting the event alternately.

This year's meeting will comprise over 50 oral presentations and 70 poster presentations to deliver the most up-to-date view of equine colic management and clinically-relevant research.

The 15-minute oral presentations will cover diagnostics, epidemiology, microbiome and physiology, surgical techniques and post-operative management. Each will be followed by five minutes for questions and discussion.

Chris Proudman, RCVS Specialist in Equine Gastroenterology, who chairs the organising committee, said: “This is the Olympics of equine colic research. The leading practitioners and researchers from around the world will be present at the meeting to share their ideas and to discuss future challenges. For anyone involved in equine clinical practice or colic research this is a “must-go” meeting!”
