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.
Imidazole: an inhibitor of L-phenylalanine-insensitive alkaline phosphatases of tissues other than intestine and placenta. 1. Alkaline phosphatases (orthophosphoric monoester phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.1) from brain, kidney, liver, bone, lung and spleen, which are not very sensitive to l-phenylalanine, are strongly inhibited by imidazole, whereas the placental and intestinal enzymes, which are very sensitive to l-phenylalanine, are only slightly affected. This is a new possibility for distinguishing the alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes.
2. The inhibition is apparently of an uncompetitive type, suggesting that the inhibitor interacts with the ES complex to form an EIS complex.
3. Histidine acts upon all enzyme...
Cardiac pathology in the horse. 2. Microscopic pathology. The normal histology of cardiac tissues has been described by many authors, for example Gross and Kugel (1931), Trautmann and Fiebiger (1952), Gould (1968), Bloom and Fawcett (1969) and Ham (1969). In the horse, a few reports have described microscopic valvular pathology in detail (Ackerknecht 1923, Imre 1933, Ubach and Cler 1944). Experimentally induced lesions have been reported by Wadsworth (1919), Wadsworth and Sickles (1927) and Miller (1944), and endocarditis was described by Winqvist (1945) and Dobin (1959, 1968).
In 1966, Smetzer, Bishop and Smith outlined the valvular pathology ass...
Ovarian response of cows following pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin treatment during two successive estrous cycles. Thirteen cows (8 Holsteins, 3 Ayrshire,
2 Shorthorn; 3 to 7 years old) were
treated with pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin (PMSG) during two successive
estrous cycles. The gonadotrophin was
injected on Day 16 of the cycle (estrus ---
Day 0) and again on Day 16 of the next
cycle (10 cows) or 21 days after previous
PMSG injection (3 cows). Doses of
PMSG injected during the first cycle were
3,000 IU (6 cows: Group A) and 2,000
IU (7 cows: Group B). These doses were
reversed for the individual cow during
its next estrous cycle. Cows were
slaughtered 10 to 14 days after the second
PMS...
