GOSSELIES, Wallonia, Belgium--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

TheraVet (ISIN: BE0974387194 - ticker: ALVET), a pioneering company in the management of osteoarticular diseases in pets, announces its participation at the annual meeting of the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses (WBFSH) taking place in Orlando known as “horse capital of the world” from October 13 to 15 2023, and the sponsorship of its gala dinner.

The annual meeting of the WBFSH, the international umbrella organization of studbooks, is a leading event gathering more than 100 members representing 17 countries in Orlando. The annual meeting will cover topics ranging from welfare perspectives to skeletal conditions.

Dr Hilde Vrancken, Veterinary Advisor Equine of Theravet, will introduce and highlight the importance of bone cysts, as well as the availability of a breakthrough innovation to treat them with BIOCERA-VET RTU. Indeed, the subchondral bone cysts affect 25% of yearlings (horses in their second year), representing up to 200,000 horses in Europe and US and a common cause of lameness and reduced performance of young equine athletes. BIOCERA-VET has an exclusive positioning in its treatment today on the market thanks to the properties required for minimally invasive cementoplasty (high injectability, long workability, high radiopacity & high cohesiveness & fast self-setting).

The Company continues the effort in the establishment of strong collaboration with renowned clinics and specialized equine veterinarians with Dierenkliniek Emmeloord, The Netherlands (The Netherlands, www.dierenkliniekemmeloord.nl) and now with Equitom clinic (Belgium, www.equitom.be/en/), a clinic part of the Equine Care Group (www.equinecaregroup.com/en/) with the objective to gather more patient experience with BIOCERA-VET RTU and also to design the optimal product for bone cyst management but also for equine dental and orthopedic surgery in general.
