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 comparative study of the multiplicity of mammalian esterases. Multiple forms of soluble esterase activity have been resolved in horse, sheep, ox and possum tissue extracts and sera. 2. By comparing esterase zymograms from different tissues and from different species, it is apparent that the distribution and multiplicity of esterase activity is tissue and species specific. 3. By means of substrate and inhibitor studies, the esterase multiple forms have been characterized into four main classes : carboxylesterases, arylesterases, acetylesterases, and cholinesterases. Each of these can be considered as an isoenzymic group. 4. Evidence is presented for furth...
Etiology and pathogenesis of so-called mucoid degeneration of the nasal conchae in the horse. Following a description of the histopathology of so-called mucoid degeneration of the nasal conchae in the horse, the authors conclude that the morphologic nature of the disease is osteodystrophia fibrosa. The lesions are believed to be expressions of nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism.
