The University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, Food and Environment will be hosting a Rotavirus workshop July 19 at Keeneland from 12:30-5:30 p.m. EDT.

Sponsored by Keeneland, the workshop will overview equine Rotavirus in foals and the work performed by UK’s Gluck Equine Research Center and Veterinary Diagnostic Lab, in collaboration with clinicians and farms during Spring 2021.
