The Science behind SPILLERS®
The research team which provides the science behind SPILLERS® horse feeds is based at WALTHAM® and is known as the Equine Studies Group. This group was established nearly 15 years ago at WALTHAM®, the worldwide scientific authority of the Mars Pet Care Companies.
The Equine Studies Group are dedicated to advancing the science of nutrition and are committed to sharing their work with veterinarians, scientists and horse owners around the world. This commitment is based on the belief that with veterinarians and owners/feeders working together (with nutritionists as and when appropriate), the Equine Studies Group can help to optimise the diets of the various horses under their care.
With these beliefs in mind, the following work / events have been carried out by the Waltham® Equine Studies Group:
WALTHAM® is the scientific authority that unifies the research and development expertise of the Mars Pet Care Companies worldwide, providing the science behind world-leading brands such as PEDIGREE® and WHISKAS®, as well as SPILLERS®.
The two WALTHAM® Equine Research Digests summarise some of the most significant nutritional projects and findings from the WALTHAM® Equine Studies Group since 2003.
WALTHAM® have taken part in five International Symposia since 2005. A summary of all Symposia Proceedings, as well as order instructions, are available on this site.
