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.
Mandibular fracture and fracture repair in a 26 year old Arab horse. In this study the treatment of a mandibular fracture in a 26 year old Arab horse, the history during the subsequent 4 years and the anatomical post-mortem findings are presented and described.
The use of sclerosing agents in tendon repair of racehorses. Most practitioners will have experienced the
frustration encountered in the treatment of sprains
of the flexor tendons and suspensory ligaments
of racehorses. After apparent recovery, the
damaged structure will often break down again
when the horse returns to hard training. Milne
(1960), Reed (1962), Jubb and Kennedy (1963)
and Hickman (1964) have written detailed ac-
counts of the pathology of tendon injuries and the
mechanism of repair of tendon tissue. These
writers substantiate that when a tendon is
sprained, there is a tearing or rupture of some of
the tendon fibres, varying i...
Tissue distribution of sulfadimethoxine and sulfamonomethoxine in horses after intravenous injection. The author has already reported on the time course of blood level of sulfonamides in horses at various dose schedules3). The present paper is concerned with the tissue distri-bution of sulfadimethoxine and sulfamonomethoxine in horses. The distribution of sulfonamides has been reported by KoNDol) in experimental animals, in which the concentrations of these drugs in the kidney, liver, lung and spleen were found to be close to the blood level. Many investigators ascribed the low concen-tration of sulfonamides in the spinal fluid to the existence of a blood-brain barrier, and also observed that ...
