The Institute Series from Hagyard Pharmacy
Your one-stop source for equine health and medication information
Equine medication is a complex and dynamic subject. Keeping up with trends in compounding, supplement use, compliance with clean sport regulations, etc. can be a challenge. That’s why Hagyard Pharmacy has created the Institute Series.
Designed with the time demands of equine veterinarians in mind, the goals of the Institute Series are to:
- Provide a one-stop source for substantive, reliable content about equine health and medication
- Collaborate with industry partners and manufacturers who share the desire to provide quality care in the most ethical way possible
- Elevate the discussion surrounding quality equine care and keeping the equine industry strong
With each episode, our primary purpose is to deliver great content that is not more than 30 minutes in length. This is an “education first” approach that leads with science and best practices, providing veterinarians like you with a deep dive into a variety of subjects – the ones that mean the most to you, your practice and your clients. So the quality of the content is high, but the time commitment is low.

Dr. Nathan Slovis, DVM, DACVIM, CHT discusses the various causes of gastric ulcers in horses and how to address Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) with prescription medications and over-the-counter supplements. This includes the though process that led to the study published in the Journal of the Equine Veterinary Science for the use of polysaccharides for the treatment of gastric ulcers.
Wound healing in animals and humans can experience unexpected complications. This is particularly true for areas of low circulation because the lack of blood impedes proper healing and if infection sets in. In this video, Anicell Biotech discusses how amnion is used as a regenerative treatment and bioscaffold for wounds, as well as providing amnion-use case studies presented by the doctors and veterinarians managing the wound care.

The animal compounding industry plays a very important role in the treatment of animals, allowing veterinarians and pharmacists to help customize treatment solutions for their patients. But a veterinarian’s best thinking is only as good as the ingredients the pharmacist is working with to create the compound. In this video, Hagyard discusses the many benefits of compounded medications, as well as the processes put in place to ensure that the compounds created are of the highest possible quality.
