Equine hypothyroidism: the long term effects of thyroidectomy on metabolism and growth in mares and stallions. Surgical thyroidectomies (Thx) were per-formed in 6 yearling grade horse colts, (3 males, 3 females). Five control colts (3 males, 2 females) were included and comparative studies were carried out for 67 weeks. The comparative measurements included rectal temperature, heart rate, feed consumption, packed cell volume, serum cholesterol, serum calcium, serum phosphorus, serum TO height, heart girth, body weight, epiphyseal plate closure and tooth eruption times.

Transposition of the aorta and atresia of the pulmonary trunk in a horse. ABSTRACT Transposition of the aorta to the right ventricle with atresia of the pulmonary trunk was described in a 2 year old horse.

The probable course of circulation during the fetal life and after birth of this animal was suggested. An extensive col-lateral circulation was developed to the lungs, which might explain how the animal could live so long.
