Anna L. Draeger

Anna L. Draeger is a researcher at the Department of Animal & Equine Science, Hutson School of Agriculture, Murray State University. Her work focuses on equine pharmacology and nutraceutical applications.

• PhD in Animal & Equine Science (2020)
• Advisor: Shea A. Porr

Research spans: Cannabidiol (CBD) supplementation in horses, reactivity and movement analysis, pharmacokinetics, and animal welfare improvement through nutraceuticals.

Key findings from her publications show: CBD reduces equine reactivity without significant physiological side effects; establishes pharmacokinetic baseline for equine CBD dosing; demonstrates movement pattern alterations in CBD-supplemented horses.

Selected Publications (2020-2021) address CBD's role in veterinary medicine, with implications for horse behavior modification, neuroendocrine responses, and movement dynamics.
