All Research Associates, Inc™ products are thoroughly tested by Equine Veterinarians before entering the marketplace. The first Veterinary Doctor to consult with us was Dr. Burnham, who did all the premarket testing of Cough Ease™, Hematocrit™, Apple-X™ and AzoturX™. Dr. Burnham was a founding member of AAEP, the Association of Equine Practitioners, since its inception in 1956. He graduated from Michigan State and was active in the Chicago thoroughbred racing community for over 40 years.
