UK’s Equine Science Review celebrates one year
UK’s Equine Science Review celebrates one year
One year ago last April, in the first few uncertain months of the pandemic and lockdown, the University of Kentucky launched a new publication, the Equine Science Review: highlighting research & outreach efforts at the University of Kentucky. The Review is a monthly newsletter from the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, Food and Environment that highlights the important horse-related work happening at the university. UK is home to world-class research and service excellence in equine health, safety, nutrition, pasture and forages, economics, engineering, environmental compliance and many others.
Some of the notable story highlights from the past year include:
