Gal and Totilas Triumph

The Netherlands' Edward Gal and stallion Moorlands Totilas have overcome all the pressure and tension to claim the 25th anniversary FEI World Cup Dressage title in s'Hertogenbosch. 

Gal's stallion was tipped to take the honours throughout the entire 2009/2010 FEI World Cup Dressage season during which he secured his third record-breaking score of 2009 at London Olympia last December. But two days ago fellow-Dutch rider Adelinde Cornelissen took advantage of an edgy test from her team-mate to win the preliminary Grand Prix with a great performance from Jerich Parzival, and for the first time in a long while, Gal's stallion began to look vulnerable. Ultimately, however, he was considerably more composed as he strutted his way to victory by a margin of almost seven percentage points: "when I came into the arena I thought it could be better – and it was!" said the relieved 40 year old rider who clinched the trophy for The Netherlands for the tenth time.

BSAVA publishes Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice

The BSAVA has added a small animal nutrition advice booklet to its series of BSAVA guides.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice offers a resource for veterinary professionals to provide appropriate nutrition for animals. As well as maintaining the wellbeing of healthy pets, the guide explores how nutritional requirements change in times of illness and disease.

The guide is divided into five sections, which explore the importance of nutritional assessment; diet types; feeding at different life stages; feeding for specific situations; and feeding for specific diseases. Online resources are also in the BSAVA Library including client handouts and videos.

It is designed to be suitable for referencing, in-depth case planning and team training sessions.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice can be purchased online from the BSAVA store.
