Researchers will study the immune response in the intestine of horses undergoing colic surgery, focusing on a common complication called postoperative ileus.

Researchers will study whether changes to gastrointestinal (gut) motility in horses are associated with post-travel colic and use this new information to improve management recommendations for the care of transported horses.

Researchers will develop an educational training program for Spanish-speaking horse owners in Colombia to improve early recognition of colic, knowledge of risk factors and appropriate treatment when access to veterinary services is limited.

This study is part of our fellowship program, established to support early career research scientists. The Fellow will study the role of signaling cells in inflammatory processes associated with postoperative ileus, a life-threating complication of colic surgery.

Researchers are searching for biomarkers to help identify horses at higher risk for surgical colic complications.

In this pilot study, researchers will develop a big data model to learn more about drivers of avian cholera outbreaks.

In this pilot study, researchers will study how pollutant exposure affects the health and well-being of white-tailed eagles.

In this pilot study, researchers will attempt to improve seizure monitoring in California sea lions affected by domoic acid, a harmful marine toxin, by building a mechanism to monitor brain electrical activity.

Researchers will determine causes of mortality in a subspecies of West Indian manatees to improve health and conservation of these endangered animals.

Researchers will develop online training tools to help horse owners better recognize and interpret horse behavior, emotions and body language that may be indicative of health or welfare issues in their animals.
