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.
Colicine K: VI. The Immune Response of Horses to a Colicinogenic Strain of Escherichia Coli. 1. The immunization of horses with the colicinogenic bacillus E. coli K235 L + O(m) stimulates antibodies which precipitate and neutralize colicine K and neutralize the heterologous colicine I as well. 2. Unlike rabbits, horses evoke predpitating antibodies for the sialic acid-containing polysaccharide colominic acid.
