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.
The binding of plutonium to serum proteins in vitro. The interactions between tetravalent plutonium and horse serum proteins were studied in vitro by electrophoresis on cellulose acetate and by gel filtration. The results show that in horse serum, as in other mammalian sera, the plutonium is associated principally with the transferrin component of the beta1-globulins. The formation of the plutonium-transferrin complex requires the presence of HCO3-, and plutonium is displaced from the complex by excess iron, thus indicating that similar binding sites may be involved in the complexing of iron and plutonium. The plutonium complex is considered to ...
A note on a simple estimation of amphetamine, methylamphetamine and ephedrine in horse urine. A chromatographic separation of amphetamine, methylamphetamine and ephedrine from horse urine is possible on alkaline Silica Gel G plates developed with acetone-methanol (1:3). After elution, the bases are determined colorimetrically. The intensity of the violet colour resulting from the nitration of amphetamine is measured in a Unicam SP1300 colorimeter using filter No. 1 (sensitivity 50–250 μg). The colour produced by the interaction of methylamphetamine, sodium nitro-prusside, acetaldehyde and triethanolamine is measured at 590 mμ (sensitivity 200–2,000 μg). Ephedrine was determined ...
Amino acid sequences around the cystine residues in horse growth hormone. The cystine-containing peptides of horse growth hormone were isolated and their amino acid sequences determined. Four unique half-cystine residues occur in two peptides, one containing 11 and the other, at the C-terminus of the protein, 15 amino acids. These sequences are compared with published data on growth hormones from other species.
