Field studies involving horses are research investigations conducted in natural or semi-natural environments outside of laboratory settings. These studies aim to observe and analyze equine behavior, ecology, and physiology in real-world conditions. Field studies can encompass a wide range of topics, including grazing patterns, social interactions, habitat use, and the impact of environmental factors on horse health and welfare. Researchers employ various methodologies such as direct observation, GPS tracking, and non-invasive sampling to collect data. This page aggregates peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the methodologies, findings, and implications of field studies in understanding equine behavior and ecology.
DRUDGE JH, LELAND SE, WYANT ZN, HUTZLER LB.In field studies in which 197 sucklings, weanlings and yearlings and mares were treated with Parvex at the dosage rate of 37-5 mg. per Ib. body-weight, both immature and mature ascarids were effectively removed; but this dosage level did not have any apparent action against Strongylus vulgaris or Strongyloides westeri. Low level phenothiazine medication was effective in depressing egg production and inhibiting larval development of strongyles, especially S. vulgaris.
Soliman R, Yousef M, Gelil SA, Aboul-Ella H.Strangles is a highly contagious disease of the equine upper respiratory tract caused by Streptococcus equi subspecies. Streptococcus equi subsp. equi (S. equi) and Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus (S. zooepidemicus) was isolated, as local, hot, and field strains, from horses clinically suffering from respiratory distress. The isolated Streptococci were identified using bacteriological and molecular techniques. Four formulations of inactivated S. equi vaccines were developed and evaluated. The first formulation was prepared using the S. equi isolates, adjuvanted with MONTANIDE GEL adjuv...
