La gourme du cheval

French to English Medical Livestock / Animal Husbandry Biology
Good morning all,

I have no idea about the translation of this animal disease. Could anybody help me out. I am translating a piece on laboratories.

Here is the context.

"Il fabriquait un produit qui était contre, je me souviens, la gourme du cheval".

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
