Kenneth H. McKeever, Ph.D., FACSM, is Associate Director-Research for the Rutgers Equine Science Center and Associate Professor in Rutgers’ School of Environmental and Biological Sciences. He has focused his basic research on comparative exercise and cardiovascular physiology with a particular interest in baroreceptor function as well as renal and neuroendocrine control of blood pressure, blood volume, and fluid and electrolyte balance. On an applied level, his research has focused on the effects of ergogenic (performance-enhancing) practices on the physiological responses of the equine athlete. Research in the lab is focused on basic physiology of the equine athlete. His mission is not to cure sick horses, but rather to enhance understanding of the equine athlete and its physiology to prevent problems before they occur. He has lectured on the many similarities between horses and humans and is using the horse as a model to study the effects of aging on a variety of physiological systems. Ultimately his goal is to provide information for horse owners around the world and to find new ways to make happier, healthier, horses.
