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.
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.

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...
Cross-reactivity studies of horse, goat and rabbit anti-lymphocyte globulin. In the sera of ten normal humans and twenty-eight candidates for organ transplantation, the passive haemagglutination test detected a 50% incidence of preformed antibodies of low titre directed against horse serum. Such antibodies were also found to cross react with goat or rabbit sera in most instances. Seventeen of the organ recipients were later studied after the institution of treatment with horse antihuman-lymphocyte globulin (ALG). The incidence of anti-horse-serum antibodies rose to 100%. At the same time, an increased activity against goat serum developed; cross-reactions against rabbi...

Blood selenium in naturally fed horses and the effect of selenium administration. Blood Se of adult horses was 26.1, 25.8, and 27.0 ng/ml (mean values at 3 farms), where the Se of food was about 20 ng/g dry substance. Experimental adult horses which received about 41 ng Se/g food showed 45.3 ng/ml blood. At low Se intake suckling foals show higher blood Se than mares, but with high Se intake, the opposite will occur. This is reflected in milk Se, which raises but slowly with rise of mare’s blood Se. Se in blood plasma and in blood corpuscles is on the same level. The effect of various dose levels of Se on blood Se was studied: From 1.5 to 6 mg Se/week, blood Se rose rathe...
