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.
Recent developments in the law relating to veterinary certificates of soundness. The paper examines recent developments in the law which have extended criminal and civil liability for veterinary certificates of soundness. Criminal liability under the Trade Descriptions Act 1968 is first considered. There follows a discussion of civil liability at common law and under the Misrepresentation Act 1967.
The paper then examines the standard of care required of a veterinary surgeon in preparing a certificate, and, after some general considerations, deals specifically with questions relating to the purpose of the examination, the extent of the examination, and testing for pheny...
Clinical and pathological observations on generalized steatitis in foals. A form of generalized fat necrosis and steatitis occurs in pony and donkey foals. The clinical and pathological features of this disorder are described and its possible relationship to a similar condition in the Thoroughbred foal, and to yellow Fat Disease in other species, is discussed.
Studies on the IgA system of the horse. Equine serum and secretions were found to contain a protein which cross-reacted with an antiserum against human IgA, but not with antisera against any other human immunoglobulin. The physicochemical properties of equine IgA resembled those of human IgA. IgA was found to be the immunoglobulin having the highest secretion serum concentration ratio in equine lacteal and salivary secretions, and to be the protein produced by the majority of immunoglobulin-containing cells in the of the equine intestine.
