Abstract
Background: Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is the main diagnostic technique used for the confirmation of equine asthma. Use of the tracheal wash (TW) has been deemed insufficient to diagnose equine asthma or investigate poor performance, yet as TW is the easier sample to obtain it may be tempting to attempt this instead.Aim of the article: This update article provides a step‐by‐step guide to performing a BAL in the field, with the hope of encouraging more first‐opinion equine vets to use this sampling technique.
