Benefits to LSU Equine Health Studies Program

Funds generated by this multiple-breed benefit Stallion Service Auction (SSA) will be used to expand the Equine Clinical facilities including an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and Isolation, Reproductive, and Lameness Evaluation Centers. Proceeds from this year's auction will go toward construction of the Equine ICU.

Did you know that:

20-25% of horses admitted require emergency and critical care services?

The Equine Clinic caseload has increased approximately 15% per year since 1990?

60-65% of emergency admittances have colic?

10% of emergency admissions are neonatal foals with life-threatening illnesses?

And other common causes of emergency admittances involve traumatic injuries (fractured bones, and lacerations involving skin, tendons and joints), obstetrics, neurologic disorders and respiratory distress.

The Equine Clinic provides advanced veterinary care and state-of-the-art services for critically ill and injured equine patients. These services are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. With 3 equine internists, five equine surgeons, 3 theriogenologists, and 2 anesthesiologists, all board certified, the concentration of equine specialty expertise is unique in Louisiana and the surrounding region. The Equine Clinic is truly an asset to the Louisiana and regional Equine Community.

Due to the expanding Louisiana horse industry, the Equine Clinic case load continues to increase. To continue to provide efficient, state-of-the-art care, it is necessary to expand and renovate our Equine ICU facilities. The new ICU will feature 10 stalls in a centralized, environmentally controlled unit, including:

Four stalls specially designed for accommodating neonatal foals and their dams

One stall with padded walls and an overhead hoist for horses with severe neurologic or musculoskeletal disease

The expansion of our current Equine ICU facility is vital to provide state-of- The-art veterinary care for the ever-increasing number of critically ill and injured horses!
