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.
Myocardial atrio-venous junctions and extensions (sleeves) over the pulmonary and caval veins. Anatomical observations in various mammals. The myocardial fibres of the posterior wall of the atrio-venous junctions were examined in 35 large domestic mammals. In the majority of specimens a common pattern in the course and organization of the fibres could be observed. The most obvious features were the following: (1) a main circular fascicle surrounding the pulmonary trunks; (2) fibres encircling the atriovenous junctions; and (3) myocardial sleeves extending along the veins, occasionally as far as the lung. The superior part of the left atrial wall was consistently thicker than the inferior section. Individual variations of this wal...
Glucose tolerance and effect of volatile fatty acid on plasma glucose concentration in ponies. Factors affecting glucose tolerance and the effect of volatile fatty acids on plasma glucose were studied with five ponies in two 5×5 latin square trials. The treatments were equimolar infusions of glucose, acetate, propionate, butyrate and isontonic saline in fed or fasted ponies.
Animals fasted for 72 hr. exhibited a markedly lower glucose tolerance than those fed ad libitum. Propionate appeared to be the only VFA stimulating a significant glucose response in the fasted animals, but no response was noted in the fed animals. The data suggest that length of fast is an important variable in...
The cancellation of mirror-image electrocardiograms in the horse. The paper describes the use of a four-electrode cancellation technique, employing a bridge circuit to cancel mirror-image ECGs on the body surface of six horses. The axes joining points at which good cancellations were obtained were plotted on planar diagrams. Evidence is presented which suggests that a considerable proportion of cardiac activity could be regarded as though arising from the activity of a single resultant dipole although there is probably some mobility of the dipole centre during different parts of the cardiac cycle.
A comparison of fingerprints of tryptic digests of human, horse and rat apoferritins. 1. Fingerprints of tryptic digests of apoferritins from a human liver, horse spleens and ACI rat livers were made by means of electrophoresis and chromatography on microcrystalline cellulose, and were compared.
2. All tryptic peptides also present in apoferritins from the human liver and the horse spleens were also present in apoferritin from the rat livers.
3. In the digests of horse and of rat apoferritin there was a peptide that was not present in the digests of human apoferritin. Another peptide was obtained from human and from rat apoferritin, but not from horse apoferritin.
4. T...
The fine structure of equine papillomas and the equine papilloma virus. Combined light and electron microscopy were used to follow the sequence of virus development in equine papillomas. The deepest layer in which virus was observed was the stratum spinosum of the epidermis. In this layer virus was scattered throughout the nuclei and was occasionally found in association with the nucleolus. In the stratum granulosum virus particles were more numerous, often forming isolated nuclear aggregates. Virus inclusions observed in the stratum granulosum by electron microscopy were correlated with nuclear inclusions seen by light microscopy. In the stratum corneum closely p...
