Veterinary vaccinology. Veterinary vaccinology is a very interesting and rapidly developing field. In fact veterinary vaccines are not only used for the prevention of infectious diseases in the animal health sector, but also help to solve problems of public health, to reduce detrimental environmental impact of the use of some veterinary drugs and prevent the emergence of resistance of micro-organisms or parasites. After a short introduction, this paper will deal with the use of vaccines for animal health and welfare, including new developments in the veterinary field such as marker vaccines and vectored vaccines, the...
[Heart rate fluctuations in the horse at rest: (2) Biological variation factors related to behavioural profile]. Variability of heart rate was analysed within a sample of 30 horses in order to determine the influence of factors (animal, age, sex and breed) associated with different behavioural patterns. The heart rate fluctuations were analysed by computing the power spectral density of a series of heartbeat intervals. A generalized linear model was used to compare the spectra and to reveal the effect of each factor: animal age, sex and breed. The scale and shape of spectral densities were significantly different between animals. This individual variability was partly explained by the sex and age effects...
[Heart rate fluctuations in the horse at rest: (1) Investigation of heart rate changes by spectrum analysis]. The heart rate fluctuations at rest were studied in order to explore the emotionality of the horses by isolating the influence of the autonomic control. This paper presents a method of spectral analysis which was used to analyse the heart rate variability in the frequency domain. The heartbeat intervals were recorded during 1 h and a series of 1,024 heartbeats was extracted to compute a power spectrum of density. This was obtained by calculating the Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function of the series. This spectral analysis was applied to heart rate recordings in order to illustrat...
