Animal Heath Trust (AHT) PhD student, Chris Deaton, has recently been awarded the prestigious Joan O’Brien Research Award for the second year running. The Award is given for an outstanding oral presentation by a graduate student.

Chris carried out much of the research work behind the innovative equine respiratory supplement WINERGY VENTIL-ATE®. Developed as a result of a three-year research project, conducted by the WALTHAM® Equine Studies Group, in collaboration with the AHT, WINERGY VENTIL-ATE is the only equine respiratory supplement to have been proven in published scientific trials.

Dr Pat Harris, Director of Science at Effem Equine Ltd, home of WINERGY, SPILLERS and EQUIVITE said: “It is an unusual and highly commendable achievement for Chris to win this award for two years in succession. The Award is given by the Veterinary and Comparative Respiratory Society and it reflects the high regard in which our research work is held by these experts”.
