UF College of Veterinary Medicine veterinarians and scientists hope research will shed light on better ways of treating equine anhidrosis, a condition that impairs a horse’s ability to sweat. Common in the Southeastern United States, the condition causes horses to overheat, causing numerous negative health effects. UF’s team is investigating possible genetic causes of equine anhidrosis as well as the efficacy of various treatment options.

What the researchers are learning could help save sight in both horses and humans.
