Abstract
POOR stable management can directly cause or exacerbate a range of respiratory disorders in horses ([Art and others 2002][1]). Organic dust derived from bedding and forage is the most abundant and toxicologically significant inhalable agent present in equine housing ([Davis and Foster 2002][2]). TheKeywords
