Getting to the guts of behaviour

Description

Presented by Dr Amber Batson

During the webinar Amber pulls together the most up-to-date research on the intestinal microbiome of the horse and how that influences a variety of internal processes that can impact on how the horse feels, reacts and learns. She also looks at gastrointestinal health and how disorders affecting the gut can influence a variety of behaviours. The information is then pulled together with two case studies where gut health was a significant contributing factor to the perceived behaviour issue (one an abnormal oral repetitive behaviour and one a human-directed aggression case).
