Equine Essentials: The Importance of Vitamin E

Few horses are lucky enough to have constant, year-round access to fresh, green grass, which provides the best natural source of vitamin E. This powerful antioxidant supports muscle and nerve health. Is your horse getting enough? Join our host, Michelle Anderson, as she interviews Dr. Carrie Finno. You'll learn about horses' vitamin E requirements, signs of a vitamin E deficiency, and how natural sources of vitamin E compare to synthetic vitamin E.

Ferraro Endowed Director of the Center for Equine Health at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis).

She elected to pursue a career in translational genetic research, with a strong focus on inherited neuromuscular diseases.
