Topic:Animal Science
Animal Science and horses encompass the study of equine biology, physiology, and management practices aimed at understanding and improving horse health, welfare, and performance. This field integrates various scientific disciplines, including genetics, nutrition, reproduction, and behavior, to address the needs of horses in diverse contexts such as sports, work, and companionship. Research in this area often focuses on optimizing feeding strategies, enhancing breeding programs, and developing effective health management protocols. Additionally, studies explore the genetic factors influencing traits such as athleticism and disease resistance, as well as the impact of environmental and management conditions on horse behavior and welfare. This page gathers peer-reviewed research and scholarly articles that investigate the scientific principles underpinning equine science and their practical applications in horse care and management.
Photooxidation of horse and sperm-whale myoglobin sensitized by the heme group. The irradiation of horse and sperm-whale Fe” or Fez’ myoglobins with visible light
showed that axial ligands that render the heme diamagnetic (e.g. 02, CO or CN-) endow the
hemoproteins with a marked photosensitivity. In contrast, high-spin myoglobins are unaffected by
visible light. These findings appear to be of general validity for all hemo-proteins and are in agreement
with the involvment of the triplet state of the heme as the reactive intermediate. In all cases, the overall
photoprocess occurs within a very narrow spatial range, leading to specific modification of these
photoox...
A steady-state kinetic model of butyrylcholinesterase from horse plasma. The steady-state kinetics of the butyrylcholinesterase-catalysed hydrolysis of butyrylthiocholine and thiophenyl acetate were shown to deviate from Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The ;best' empirical rate law was selected by fitting different rate equations to the experimental data by non-linear regression methods. The results were analysed in view of two alternative interpretations: (1) the reaction is catalysed by a mixture of enzymes, or (2) the activity is due to a single enzyme displaying deviations from Michaelis-Menten kinetics. It was concluded that the second alternative applies, and this...
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...
