    Student develops app to tackle horse obesity

    0
    By Helen Stock on 18 March 2022 News

    A student at the University of Glasgow has created and updated a free weight management app to help owners monitor horse bodyweight and condition.

    The new version of Equi-BCS – refreshed in response to a survey of more than 100 people, including veterinary professionals, nutritionists and horse owners – was developed by Katie Williams, an equine nutritionist who carried out the survey and app development as part of her PhD veterinary research project.

    The app allows owners to record and share weight data, so it is easier for professionals to support them to keep horse weight on track. It also supports horses that are not holding their weight so health issues can be spotted earlier.
