Frank J. Milne State-of-the-Art Lecture

Frank J. Milne State-of-the-Art Lecture
Sponsor - Platinum Performance, "Good Nutrition is Good Medicine."
This presentation will remind us of the impact of skeletal injuries on horse attrition and industry costs, then build the foundation for understanding the need for skeletal adaptation to sport horse demands, the mechanisms for injury and adaptation, the contributing factors to sport horse injuries, and then review concepts of training to shift the balance to adaptation and optimal performance. Understanding the biological concepts that underpin skeletal adaptation and responses to injury are useful in informing the training and competition of horses to yield optimized performance with low injury risk.
Dr. Susan Stover is Professor in the Department of Anatomy, Physiology & Cell Biology at the University of California. She currently serves as Director of the J.D. Wheat Veterinary Orthopedic Research Laboratory.
Dr. Stover earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Washington State University. She then completed an internship and residency in equine surgery at UC Davis. After working in private practice in Washington state, she returned to UC Davis.
Dr. Stover has received numerous awards throughout her career, such as the Lifetime Excellence in Research Award from the American Veterinary Medical Association. She was also selected for induction into the University of Kentucky Equine Research Hall of Fame in 2016.
Dr. Stover is internationally known for her research on the prevention of musculoskeletal injuries in equine athletes and the biomechanical function of musculoskeletal structures and treatment of orthopedic disorders in domestic and non-domestic animals. Her current research centers on understanding how training and injury affect bone adaptation or propensity for bone fracture, the effects of performance surface materials and shoes on hoof and fetlock biomechanics and thus propensity for injury in athletes, and the development of osteoporosis in horses associated with inhalation of cytotoxic silicate-laden soil.

Panelists
AAEP: Kelly Zeytoonian, Rana Bozorgmanesh, and Craig Roberts
AAEVT: Andrea Whittle, Nicole Bone Reybuck, and Jlynn Meyer
The objective of this open roundtable discussion is to share ideas, as well as challenges, on how successful veterinary teams have created respectful working relationships, how veterinary technicians and assistants can be fully utilized, the challenge of finding and keeping excellent staff, and how important open communication is. Practices and technicians will share examples of challenges, how they created solutions, and how their working environments support a higher standard of care and mutual respect. Discussion will be encouraged as to how we (AAEVT and the AAEP) can better support our members, find solutions to the challenges our individual professions face and work together to better serve our practices, ourselves, our clients, and the Horse. We need each other and the Horse needs us.
