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.
Infra-red emission and 133 Xe-disappearance rate studies in the horse. Forty-six horses were submitted to a thermographic screening test. Forty showed a reasonably uniform IR-emission pattern of the coronary corium of the forelegs. The 133Xe-disappearance rate was studied in six of these horses, and the wash-out curves were found to be almost similar between the two extremities of each horse, except for slight differences between individual horses. Six horses showed a different IR pattern. Three had both coronary bands, and three had one coronary band, showing lower temperature. All cases with less warm coronary bands showed a low 133Xe-disappearance rate at rest...
