The committee heard from invited speakers Dr. Kevin Haussler of Colorado State University and Dr. Todd Behre of USDA’s National Veterinary Accreditation Program.

Dr. Kevin Haussler graduated from The Ohio State University, College of Veterinary Medicine in 1988 and completed a small animal internship in Sacramento, CA. To further his training in the conservative management of spinal-related disorders, he pursued human training at Palmer College of Chiropractic-West and completed a veterinary chiropractic certification program in 1993. Haussler attended the University of California-Davis to attain a PhD focusing on spinal pathology and pelvic biomechanics in Thoroughbred racehorses. Post-doctorate training involved evaluation of in-vivo spinal kinematics in horses at Cornell University. While at Cornell, he directed the newly formed Integrative Medicine Service which provided chiropractic, acupuncture and physical therapy services to both small and large animals. Currently, Haussler is an Associate Professor at the Orthopaedic Research Center at Colorado State University and is involved in teaching, clinical duties, and research into the objective assessment of musculoskeletal pain, spinal dysfunction and the application of physical therapy and rehabilitation. He is also a charter diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation and currently a course instructor for the Equine Rehabilitation Certification course co-branded by the University of Tennessee and Colorado State University.

The committee heard from invited speaker Dr. Pia Haubro Andersen of The Swedish Agricultural University.

Pia Haubro Andersen, DVM, PhD, DVSci is a professor Large Animal Surgery, Dept. Clinical Sciences at Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala in Sweden. She has worked professionally with horses and large animals since 1980, where she graduated from The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University in Copenhagen, Denmark. From this institution, she obtained a PhD within Clinical Sciences 1985, on topics related to inflammation and endotoxin. She was appointed Assistant Professor in Large Animal Soft Tissue Surgery 1992, Associate Professor in 1996, and full Professor of Large Animal Surgery in 2006 at Copenhagen University. In 2012, she was offered a research position as full Professor of Large Animal Surgery at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. She has been member of numerous health and welfare committees in Scandinavia, and member of Danish Ethical Council Concerning Animals, Ministry of Justice, appointed by the Minister of Justice 1998 – 2014. Clinically, Pia Haubro Andersen work primarily with colic, trauma, bovine laminitis and pain. Previous research topics concerned the underlying causes for the diseases, with endotoxin, inflammation and translocation as key topics. Recent research focus on pain, especially orthopaedic pain; how pain can be reliably recognized, assessed and controlled. Our latest research addresses the automated recognition of pain in collaboration with computer scientists and machine learners (AI).
