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.
A kininogen-kinin like reaction revealed by the marginal distance of the equine lung.
Summary
Wetting an area 40 × 40 cm. with water at around 16 °C produces a marked increase in the marginal distance of the horse lung (distance between limits of pulmonary sound and sound of thoracic wall) which persists for an average of 4 1/2 hours. The treated area, but no other area, of skin remains totally refractory for more than 7 hours and partially refractory for more than 28 but less than 46 hours. Phenylbutazone (7 mg./kg. i. v.) prevents the effect. A kininogen-kinin effect is considered the likely explanation. Camphor produced similar changes to those caused by cold water.
