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.
Reproductive physiology of the stallion. I. Spermatogenesis and testis composition. The cycle of the seminiferous epithelium of the stallion was
divided into eight stages, using as criteria the presence of meiotic divi-
sions, shape of the spermatid nuclei and location of spermatids with
elongated nuclei in the tubule. The mean frequencies ofstages 1 to 8 were
16\m=.\9, 14\m=.\9, 3\m=.\2, 15\m=.\8, 7\m=.\4, 13\m=.\5, 12\m=.\6 and 15\m=.\7%, respectively. The
duration of one cycle of the seminiferous epithelium was 12\m=.\2 days
(S.E.\m=+-\0\m=.\1) as determined by injecting a single dose of 700 \g=m\Ciof
[3H]thymidine into each spermatic artery of six stallions and rem...
The relation of clinical and bacteriological findings to fertility in thoroughbred mares. Day (1939) recorded 95% fertility in wild
ponies, but in heavy horses it was only 52%
and in thoroughbreds 68%. Variation of fertility was stated by Anderson (1922) was not due
to disease or physiological malfunction, but to
highly artificial methods of mating. In New
Zealand, Bain (1948) recorded the fertility of
mares in 1944 as 61%. MahaiIey (1950) made
a survey in Western Australia and found fertility
rates which varied from 17% to 50% before
veterinary assistance was obtained.
An article in the British Racehorse (Anon
1949) revealed no evidence of any progress in
the control o...
