PURINA MILLS SPONSORS MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION’S MY HORSE UNIVERSITY ONLINE HORSE NUTRITION COURSE
Purina Mills is excited to sponsor Michigan State University Extension’s My Horse University (MHU) online horse management course “Horse Nutrition.”
“The Purina Mills sponsorship is a perfect fit,” says Christine Skelly, director and founder of My Horse University and an MSU professor of animal science. “MHU and Purina Mills place the same importance on science-based research, superior products and customer satisfaction.”
“My Horse University’s horse management online courses are an excellent way for horse enthusiasts to learn and we believe the only way to deliver the best horse products and information is by the horse people themselves,” said a Purina Mills spokesperson.
With the Purina Mills sponsorship, MHU was able to incorporate Purina Mills’ expertise in equine nutrition products, research and innovation by linking to their Omolene University website (www.omoleneuniversity.com) to enhance the learning activities of the course. My Horse University will be launching the Horse Nutrition course September 2008.
MHU offers science-based courses developed by horse experts in management, breeding, behavior, evaluation and more. The self-paced online courses are available to any horse enthusiast with Internet access around the world.
Purina Mills is a leader in animal nutrition and science. Their contributions to the horse nutrition field include being the first feed company to have an equine nutrition research facility and the first to develop specific “life stage” horse feeds.
