Performance

In the racing industry, degenerative joint disease (DJD) is one of the biggest contributors to poor athletic performance. DJD prevents equine athletes training at the required intensity to achieve their athletic potential and significantly reduces days in work. Furthermore, DJD frequently results in the premature retirement of sport horses of all ages, representing significant financial losses to the owners and the failure of talented horses to reach their full potential.

Osteoarthritis is the most common degenerative joint disease and costs the racing industry millions of dollars each year due to poor racing performance and early retirement. It is characterized by a break down in the ability of the cartilage and synovial fluid to effectively cushion and lubricate the joint during movement.
