🐴💊 Did you know that pergolide treatment for horses with Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID) is only effective in 60–80% of cases?
Many horses receiving pergolide for PPID experience adverse effects that can limit proper treatment, and response rates can vary significantly.
The Equine Genetics & Genomics Lab is currently investigating the genetic component that may influence pergolide response in horses with PPID.
If your horse meets the enrollment criteria, please consider learning more about our ongoing genetics study and enrolling.
