Equine model of inducing ulceration in alimentary squamous epithelial mucosa. Ulceration of the gastric squamous epithelial mucosa was induced in 10 horses using a feeding protocol previously shown to expose the gastric mucosa to repeated periods of high acidity. The feeding protocol consisted of alternating feed deprivation with free access to hay. Over a period of seven days, each horse was provided hay for 84 hr and deprived of hay for 84 hr. Hay was never withheld for longer than 24 hr at a time. Gastroscopy was performed on each horse at the beginning of the protocol after 12 hr of feed deprivation, and after a total of 36 hr, 60 hr, and 84 hr of feed deprivation. ...
Experimental models for ulcerative colitis. Animal model systems have been used extensively to study both experimental and naturally occurring ulcerative colitis syndromes. Interestingly, despite a variety of different animal species and a broad range of inducing agents, the response of the large intestine has been somewhat predictable. Although there is suggestive evidence for transmissible agents in several of these animal model systems, documentation of a bacterial or viral etiology has remained elusive. Perhaps the best evidence to suggest that bacteria play a role in the development of naturally occurring ulcerative colitis resides...
