Today we're tackling one of the most frequently cited studies in the world of equine hair tissue mineral analysis, or HTMA.
If you've spent any time researching HTMA, you've probably heard someone say:
"That 2022 Journal of Equine Veterinary Science study proved hair mineral testing doesn't work."
And honestly, that's one of the reasons I wanted to record this episode.
Because after reviewing more than 10,000 mane mineral analyses over the years, I think it's important that
we discuss what the study actually found, what it didn't find, and perhaps most importantly, whether it was
even asking the same question that many HTMA practitioners are asking.
Now before we begin, I want to be very clear.
This is not an episode about dismissing research.
It's not an episode about defending HTMA at all costs.
In fact, I agree with some of the concerns raised by the study.
I think it highlights important challenges within the industry. Tune in for more.
