    The KAEP invites you to dinner,
    sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim, Zoetis and Merial, John W. Poe, DVM, MPH will discuss
    Ebola Virus: An Emerged Public Health Threat 

    The 2014-2015 Liberian centered epidemic of Ebola virus is the largest ever recorded. This zoonotic (historically foreign animal African disease) disease is an extraordinary example of constant emergence of new and novel diseases generated by human activities. The convergence of human behavior with varied animal species is a constant generator of new public health threats. The understanding of new disease transmission mechanisms is critical to public health interventions.

    Dr. John W. Poe received his DVM from Auburn University in 1981 and Master in Public Health (Epidemiology) from University of Kentucky in 2002. He currently works as the Kentucky State Public Health Veterinarian and also continues to operate a veterinary clinic. He has previously served as Veterinary Medical Officer and Medical Epidemiologist for the Kentucky Department of Public Health. Current duties include consultation to health professionals and the public relating to communicable diseases, animal bites and zoonoses; expertise in control of zoonotic, tick-borne, arboviruses and other communicable diseases; and involvement in drafting and reviewing legislation pertinent to public health. He is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association Ebola Companion Animal Response Plan Working Group.

KAEP Membership Meeting: October 8, Copper Roux, Lexington 6 PM 

The World is Watching: How are Different Facets of Horse Sport Handling Public Scrutiny?
A cohesive defense of equine sport is paramount to its survival

 The term “social license to operate” (SLO) is no longer a buzzword and its ramifications are being felt throughout the equine realm. Referring to stakeholder perception of an entity’s legitimacy, SLO will truly decide the fate of the equine industry. The Kentucky Association of Equine Practitioners, in conjunction with the Kentucky Thoroughbred Farm Managers’ Club, will host a meeting addressing SLO and how it is being addressed on Tuesday, October 8, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Copper Roux in Lexington, Kentucky.

Panelists include:

  • Chip Johnson, DVM, partner at Equine Medicine and Surgery
  • Roderick Wachman, breeder, consignor and owner of Roderick Wachman Bloodstock
  • David O’Connor, Chief of Sport for the US Equestrian Federation
  • Natalie Voss, Editor-in-Chief of the Paulick Report
  • Ron Moquett, multiple graded stakes winning Thoroughbred racehorse trainer

 

Emma Adam, B.Vet.Med, Dipl. ACVIM, ACVS, Associate Professor at the Gluck Equine Research Center, will moderate.

Tickets are $35. Register here: www.ktfmc.org/event/kaep-ktfmc-oct-mtg
