Live Zoom Seminar: Canine Microbiome and Metabolites, with Dr Carol Hughes
This is a 2.5 hour live Zoom seminar covering the latest research from Dr Carol Hughes on the relationship between the gut and whole body health. Attendees will be able to ask questions.
Dr Carol Hughes is a researcher into the use of British wild plant constituents for common animal conditions, particularly those related to obesity, metabolic disorders and inflammation. She is the key developer within the Phytorigins, Equibiome and Petbiome teams, and has produced the Centre of Excellence for Bioscience and the use of plant chemicals as medicine. Her team has produced a variety of plant based supplements for animal health and wellbeing (horses, dogs and cats).
Carol has developed herbal anti-inflammatory and gut supplements in conjunction with research in Newmarket, and specialised testing and treatment equipment to benefit the health of the gut biome in horses and dogs, particularly with regards to inflammation and metabolic disorders. Equibiome and Petbiome testing provides a detailed body analysis from faecal samples and a recommended program to rebalance.
Carol is really keen to promote foraging for animal health and wellbeing, and educates owners on the benefits of the hedgerow and healthy soil.
This CPD provides attendees with current research information into disorders related to feeding and management, and use of plants and their constituents as remedies for dogs, with focus on the microbiome metabolites; their function in the body, and how to stimulate them. Carol always has some fascinating new science to share with us.
