Equine Micobiome Project by PlatinumHealth (USA)
About: The Equine Microbiome Project by Platinum Health is impacting Horse Health through Crowdsourced Research. Participation is Complimentary for a Limited Time to support the understanding of the gut microbiome and its role in equine health. We are looking for a diverse group of healthy horses as well as horses with challenging health conditions. For a limited time, we are accepting horses at no cost to help us grow the library of sequenced horses. Equine veterinarians and horse owners are participating in the Microbiome Project by Platinum Health® to help us better understand the effect the equine gut microbiome has on various aspects of horse health. We are collecting a small, pea-sized fecal sample from horses across North America, and sequencing the DNA of those microbes to discover how they interact with their environment in the horse’s gut, potentially leading to more specific areas of study. If you’d like to participate in this project, please join us!
