A TEAM from Bluegrass horse feeds are going to join industry experts at Blue Grass Kentucky at the end of the month. They will be attending a conference hosted by the Kentucky Equine Research (KER).

KER is an international equine nutrition, research and consultation company. This is the 30th anniversary of the conference and this year it will be themed on the progress within equine health and nutrition.

The team is from Eglish in Co Tyrone, will hear from a number of expert speakers at the conference and will be learning more about a variety of topics including colic, gastric health, metabolic syndrome, muscle disease and joint health.

Bluegrass has been Ireland’s Office Team Member since 2002.

GREAT EXPERIENCE

Speaking ahead of the conference, managing director of Bluegrass Horse Feed Kenneth Irwin spoke about the benefits of the team travelling to Kentucky for the conference and the knowledge they will be able to bring back from it.

Irwin said: “Every horse feed product within the Bluegrass Horse Feeds range has been fortified and formulated by the expert nutritionists team at KER.

“Owners can be assured that every product has been specifically designed to suite their horses’ requirements, with some products, such as Re-Leve, undergoing studies to provide evidence of the benefits from this product.

“The conference is a fantastic opportunity for our manager Graham Cathers and our sales and marketing co-ordinator Ashley Neely to meet with the experts from this international equine nutrition, research and consultation company serving horse owners and the feed industry.

“This trip will give our team a wealth of new knowledge on equine nutrition and health for them to translate back to our customers in Ireland and the UK and also in the production of our products at our mill in Eglish.

“This is KER’s 30th anniversary and it’s a great thing for us to do as we continue to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Bluegrass Horse Feeds.”
