Topic:Equine Studies
Equine Studies encompasses the scientific exploration and analysis of various aspects related to horses, including their physiology, behavior, genetics, nutrition, and management. This interdisciplinary field integrates knowledge from veterinary medicine, animal science, and equine management to enhance understanding of horse health and welfare. Topics within equine studies often include the study of equine anatomy, disease prevention, breeding practices, and performance optimization. Researchers and scholars contribute to this field by conducting experiments, field studies, and reviews that provide insights into improving equine care and management practices. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that investigate diverse areas within equine studies, offering comprehensive insights into the complexities of horse biology and management.
Steroid content of the equine ovary during the reproductive cycle. Follicular fluid from individual follicles was collected from nine mares in oestrus and the concentration of the following steroids determined by gas—liquid chromatography: progesterone, 17α-hydroxyprogesterone, androstenedione, 19-norandrostenedione, epitestosterone, oestrone and oestradiol. The most vascular follicles, which were probably those destined to ovulate, tended to have the highest steroid concentrations. In these vascular follicles oestradiol was the main steroid found with an average concentration of 151 μg/100 ml.
In two out of three samples of follicular fluid taken from...
Observations on the heart rate of thoroughbreds. The post-race heart rates have been recorded in 1,000 Thoroughbreds following Flat, Hurdle and Steeplechase races in varying climatic conditions and on 54 different British racecourses. The post-race deceleration of the heart rate, under racecourse conditions, was marked by an apparent three-phase recovery period. Reference is made to the normal heart sounds and to the relationship between the heart and respiratory rates.
Effects of potassium in a purified equine diet. The effects of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2% potassium, as K2CO3, in a purified diet were studied in orphaned foals of mixed breeding ranging in age from 11 to 57 days. Observations regarding feed intake, rate of gain, packed cell volume (PCV), erythrocyte counts (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb), leukocyte counts (WBC), and serum Na, K and Fe were made. Consumption of the 0.2% K diet after 8 days was inadequate to support growth. The foals consumed the 1.0 and 1.2% K diet at significantly higher rates (28.8 and 27.5 g/kg foal per day, respectively) than the 0.4% K diet. Rates of gain of foals fed 0.4...
