The archetypal place of cultural experience and knowledge dissemination, the Agora Cavadeos/L'Eperon area will reveal its exceptional programme including conferences about equine health, book launches, signings, artistic workshops and socio-professional meetings. Make a note of this enriching event in the heart of the Salon du Cheval de Paris.
The AVEF MERIAL Equi-encounters

For everything you may want to know about your horse's health, come to the AVEF/MERIAL Equi-encounters on Saturday 10 December at 1.30 pm in the Agora Area.
Organised in partnership with the "AVEF", the Association of Equine Veterinaries, and Merial, the leader in animal health, this event is aimed at a wide audience: riders, managers of riding clubs, owners, breeders, dealers, etc.
The objective is to allow information to be more accessible so that people have a greater understanding of equine health problems and to better inform them about the basic rules to follow, which will allow a horse to remain in good health.
Don't miss our practical conferences:
- "From foal to athlete: changes in behaviour, elements of risk" by Mrs Martine Hausberger, Director of Research
- "Epidemiological monitoring of horses' main viral complaints in France" by Doctor Jean-Yves Gauchot, the Chairman of RESPE - Réseau d'Epidémio Surveillance des Pathologies Equines (the French Network of Epidemiological Surveillance for Equine Diseases).
-"Horses' gastric ulcers: origins, symptoms and impact on the well-being, the activity and the performance of horses", by Anne Couroucé Malblanc, a professor at the Nantes Veterinary School.
A gastroscopy will be carried out live during the conference.
