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.
Site of phosphorus absorption from the intestine of the horse. The site of phosphorus absorption was studied by comparing the absorption of 32P placed directly into the cecum of fistulated ponies, with that absorbed from an intragastric dose and by estimating apparent absorption in different areas of the intestinal tract of ponies using Cr2O3 as an unabsorbable marker. There was no difference in the absorption of 32P following gastric or cecal administration indicating that phosphorus may be absorbed from the large intestine. The Cr2O3/nutrient ratio technique indicated that phosphorus was secreted into the upper half of the small bowel and that a nearly ...

Specific hemagglutinin and a modulator of complement in cockroach hemolymph. Natural hemagglutinin activity against vertebrate erythrocytes is present in the hemolymph of the cockroach Blabarus craniifer. The hemagglutinin titer against rabbit erythrocytes is high, whereas sheep and horse red cells agglutinate weakly. Hemagglutinin activity was depressed by the complement inhibitor, cobra venom factor. Cockroach hemagglutinin is heat-labile; all activity is destroyed by heating at 56 C for 1 hr. A humoral factor similar to the complement component 3 proactivator is also present in cockroach hemolymph. The formation of the cobra venom factor-hemolymph "complex" is depen...
