Topic:Airway Disease

Airway disease in horses is defined as a respiratory condition marked by inflammation and narrowing of the lower airways, leading to symptoms like coughing, increased mucus production, and reduced performance. This condition, which includes forms such as inflammatory airway disease (IAD) and recurrent airway obstruction (RAO), can significantly impact a horse’s respiratory efficiency and overall health. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and clinical insights that explore the pathophysiology, diagnostic techniques, and effective treatment protocols to manage and improve equine respiratory health.
