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.
Pantothenic acid studies with the horse. On the basis of studies with Shetland ponies it appears that a daily intake of 38 µg of pantothenic acid per kg. of body weight is adequate to permit normal growth and health in the horse.
The amount of pantothenic acid excreted by the renal pathway is influenced by the levels ingested. On the level of 150 µg daily per kg. of body weight 41 per cent was excreted in the urine whereas when the level ingested was 38 µg per kg. of body weight only 12.7 percent was excreted by the renal pathway.
