Zusatzinformationen:

An intact acoustic organ and hearing function is of vital importance for natural flight animals like horses. Not diagnosed diseases of the ear and the lack of or reduced hearing may impact the wellbeing and performance of horses. Monica Alemán, Gerald Schusser and Inge Wijnberg will discuss and demonstrate how to examine the ear and evaluate the hearing of horses. Ample opportunity to practice the techniques will be provided for a maximum of 18 participants.
