TRANSFER OF KNOW-HOW AND EXPERIENCE
FROM SCIENCE TO PRACTICE
LIMITS
Exigencies coming
from practitioners
Difficult comprehension
Difficult application in the field
General Context

→ was not interested
→ didn’t know and didn’t use
results (exception in few
countries)
→ didn’t trust in research
→ didn’t feel understood
→ didn’t want to invest money
horse researchers
Were not interested into know-how transfer
Scientific results were finalized just to
publication on scientific journals
horse people
In the past…

Missing collaborations
resulting in
- missing synergies
- financial limitations
- lack of trust
- isolation from practice
General Context
- concurrence situations
- financial exclusivities
(industry, sponsorships,
foundation..)
- interdisciplinary approach =
domination of specialists (vets,
nutritionists, etc.)
