Topic:Animal Health

Animal Health encompasses a broad range of topics focused on maintaining and improving the well-being of equine species. This field addresses various aspects of horse care, including disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of health conditions. Key areas of interest include equine nutrition, vaccination protocols, parasite control, dental care, and the management of chronic conditions such as laminitis and colic. Additionally, animal health research in horses investigates the impact of exercise and training on physical health, the role of genetics in disease susceptibility, and the development of new therapeutic approaches. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the latest advancements, challenges, and best practices in preserving and enhancing the health of horses.

Retrospective study on vulvar conformation in relation to endometrial cytology and fertility in thoroughbred mares.

Journal of veterinary medicine. A, Physiology, pathology, clinical medicine November 5, 2005 Volume 52, Issue 9 474-477 doi: 10.1111/j.1439-0442.2005.00760.x

Hemberg E, Lundeheim N, Einarsson S.Changes in the conformation of the vulva predispose the mare to uterine infection. Vulvoplasty for closure of the upper vulvar lips improves fertility. Not all mares are resutured after parturition, but are resutured after mating. No clinical data have hitherto been published on the reproductive outcome in mares that are resutured or not after parturition. The objectives of the present study were to investigate relationships between vulvar status (not Caslick-operated, group A; previously Caslick-operated and/or not resutured after the last parturition, groups B and C respectively) and endomet...

Oikawa M, Kusunose R.The purpose of this report is to describe the results of epidemiological surveys of racing-related fractures in Thoroughbred horses in Japan. In the period 1987-2000, a total of 10,203 fractures were diagnosed in 556,705 runners, resulting in an overall incidence of 1.83%. The annual incidence of fractures in flat racing during the 14-year period fluctuated between 1.44% and 2.19%. The majority of fractures affected the forelimbs. We found significant effects of track condition on injury incidence. The incidence of fractures decreased as track conditions on turf became softer and increased as ...

Kaikkonen M, Hyyppä S.Like potassium (K+), caesium (Cs+) tends to concentrate intracellularly. The aim here was to determine how moderate exercise affects the uptake of Cs+ from blood plasma. Methods: After an intravenous Cs+ dose of 5 micromol kg(-1), plasma Cs+ concentration was followed for 100 min in goats and for 60 min in horses. The latter were divided into two groups, one resting and the other trotting on a treadmill (inclination 3 degrees, speed 5 m s(-1)). Results: The plasma Cs+ concentration follows a multiphase exponential decay curve, which initially could be approximated with a two-phase curve. The i...

Staempfli S, Janett F, Burger D, Kuendig H, Haessig M, Thun R.In this study the effect of exercise (treadmill, riding) on scrotal surface temperature (SST) in the stallion with and without suspensory was evaluated. Our results show that SST was significantly influenced by exercise and suspensory the latter causing in general a rise in SST. Furthermore, from SST measurements in stallions exercised on treadmill and by riding, it is concluded that air circulation near the scrotum must be considered an important thermoregulatory factor.

Conforti VA, Vanderwall DK, Woods GL.The in vitro maturation (IVM) of equine oocytes is typically performed using various synthetic media; however, an optimal IVM system for equine oocytes has not been developed. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of two types of follicular fluid (FF) obtained from cyclic mares and two incubation intervals for the IVM of equine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs). Follicular fluid was collected from medium-sized (20-29 mm diameter) and large (e30 mm; post-human chorionic gonadotrophin administration) follicles using transvaginal ultrasound-guided follicle aspiration. Compact (n ...
