| |
| − | the veterinary profession? At least since Nick Short co-founded VETAID, the British daughter organisation of the European Vétérinaires Sans Frontières,

| − | Strangles, a respiratory infection of horses caused by ''Streptococcus equi'' bacteria, was acknowledged as a major threat when horses were still used
| |
| − | for work and transportation. Despite reduced awareness of strangles, this threat still remains, but recent research shows that it can be contained much

| |

| − | You know that smoking and drinking during pregnancy is bad for the baby, but think that a sweet treat can’t be that bad? After all the mother is eating for
| |
| − | two… Well, think again! The latest findings made by Stephanie Bayol and Neil Stickland at the RVC’s Department of Basic Science show that a junk food diet
| |
| − | does not only impair the development of the fetus in the womb, but may teach the offspring a preference for these sweet and fatty treats. So inheritance is
| |
| − | not just about the genes, it is also about the environment. And the prenatal environment seems to be of particular importance when inheriting feeding
| |
| − | habits, at least in the rat.
