A look inside our recent Intra-Articular CPD event hosted at Harper Adams University 📍
From hands-on joint injection practice to expert-led guidance, it was a fantastic day of practical learning and collaboration. A big thank you to our speakers, Ross Allan and Stuart Carmichael, for sharing their expertise and supporting attendees throughout the session. A big thank you as well to the incredible Nupsala sales team for making the event possible!
We’ll be hosting another session later this year, keep an eye on our socials for more details! Want priority access next time? Join our waiting list here: https://forms.office.com/e/W5485vtjug

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄? Around 30 % of calves suffer from navel infections in early life¹. This isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s a serious risk to calf health!

The faster a navel dries, the less chance bacteria have to enter.

NoBACZ Navel dries faster than iodine or chlorhexidine,ensuring protection from birth.

Very good article. We hosted a small animal CPD last year in Romania where Dr. Fergus Allerton talked about this subject in small animals

Survey on Faecal Microbiota Transplantation and Probiotic Use in Equine Practice in France and Belgium A survey of 96 equine veterinarians in France and Belgium revealed widespread therapeutic use of probiotics (82.1%) and faecal microbiota transplantation (76.0%). Knowledge gaps persisted, with 16.7%...

This is very interesting and good points raised

Just because your horse didn’t respond to a bute trial doesn’t mean it isn’t in pain.

This important message came up during the recent Bova/Virbac roadshow, where discussions highlighted why veterinarians should be cautious about using a phenylbutazone (“bute”) trial as a way to rule out pain in horses.

A common approach when investigating behavioural concerns is to perform a bute trial to see if the behaviour improves. The reasoning is that if the horse improves on pain relief, pain may be involved. However, there are some important problems with this approach. If a horse responds positively to a bute trial, this can be useful information and often prompts further investigation into the source of discomfort. But if the horse does not respond, we cannot simply assume the issue is behavioural. A lack of response to bute does not reliably rule out pain.

During the roadshow, veterinary behaviour specialist Dr Gemma Pearson discussed this issue in detail. One of the key points she highlighted was that framing the problem as “pain vs behaviour” is often overly simplistic. Many horses showing behavioural problems—such as resistance under saddle, girthing issues, reluctance to move forward, or anxiety during handling—may have underlying physical discomfort contributing to the behaviour. In many cases, behaviour and pain are intertwined.

Another limitation is that not all pain in horses is inflammatory. Phenylbutazone works by reducing inflammation, but pain associated with neuropathic processes, muscle dysfunction, visceral disease, or chronic conditions may respond poorly—or not at all—to bute.

Dr Pearson also outlined a useful diagnostic framework for veterinarians. Rather than relying on a single medication trial, a structured investigation is needed. This may include a combination of diagnostic and treatment approaches.

These investigations and treatment plans should always be tailored to the individual horse.

The key message is simple: if a horse is showing behaviour changes and a bute trial doesn’t help, it doesn’t mean pain isn’t involved. It may simply mean we need to look deeper to understand what the horse is trying to tell us. 🐴
