Response to: “Concern Regarding the Publication by Posbergh et al”

Much of the reviewer's concern derives from changes that were made to the article to shorten the overall length. We do not assert that the investigated change is causative of equine degenerative myeloencephalopathy (EDM) disease. However, we do have an ethical obligation to report our statistically significant findings in the hope that it can inform further studies of this condition. It is unfortunate that the reviewer chose to withhold these specific concerns during the review process, instead preferring a public rebuttal to air his criticisms.
