Topic:Foals

"Foals" encompasses a stage in the lifecycle of equines with distinct physiological and developmental characteristics. Foals are young horses, typically under one year of age, undergoing rapid growth and development. They require specific nutritional, health, and management practices to support their transition to adulthood. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the growth, development, health challenges, and management practices associated with foals and horses, providing insights into their care and welfare across different life stages.
Equine herpesviruses. 6. Sequential infection of horses with types 2, 3 and 1.
Australian veterinary journal    May 1, 1976   Volume 52, Issue 5 199-203 doi: 10.1111/j.1751-0813.1976.tb00064.x
Wilks CR, Studdert MJ.The immunological and virological status of 3 foals in respect of equine herpesviruses (EHV) was established and the foals were sequentially infected with EHV2, EHV3 and EHV1. Following experimental infection with EHV2, no clinical signs of disease were observed in any foal. The inoculation of EHV3 into the genital tract resulted in lesions of the mucous membrane and perineal skin that were considered typical of equine coital exanthema. Following intransal inoculation of EHV3 extensive ulceration and pustule formation on the nasal mucosa was observed by day 5 accompanied at day 7 by a profuse,...
Neuropathological changes associated with the neonatal maladjustment syndrome in the thoroughbred foal.
Research in veterinary science    May 1, 1976   Volume 20, Issue 3 267-275 
Palmer AC, Rossdale PD.A neuropathological investigation was carried out on the brains of 18 foals suffering from the neonatal maladjustment syndrome and results were compared with those obtained from the brains of nine foals dying from other causes. Necrosis of the cerebral cortex of an ischaemic nature was found in nine of the neonatal maladjustment foals, frequently accompanied by local haemorrhage. In three of this group of foals there was also necrosis in the diencephalon and brain stem. In the brains of the nine other affected foals there was haemorrhage in the cerebrum and sometimes in the brain stem and cere...

Thomson GR, Mumford JA, Campbell J, Griffiths L, Clapham P.An investigation was made of 3 serological tests (virus neutralization, complement fixation and indirect immunofluorescence), which are applicable to epidemiological studies of infections by Equid herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1). Sera from gnotobiotic foals inoculated intranasally with various strains of EHV-1 were unable in some cases to neutralize heterologous strains and these results were not consistent with the existence of clearly-defined subtypes of EHV-1, as previously proposed. The cross-reactions in complement-fixation tests paralleled those with neutralization but immunofluorescence tests wer...

Growth plate defects in foals.
The Veterinary record    February 28, 1976   Volume 98, Issue 9 165-168 doi: 10.1136/vr.98.9.165
Vaughan LC.Local disorders of bone growth form an important group of the orthopaedic problems that occur in foals. The recognition of the condition presented is essential so that the appropriate corrective measures may be instituted, and an accurate prognostication made. A knowledge of the applied anatomy of the growth plate is essential to the understanding of these cases. Consideration is given to epiphyseal separation and to angular deformity, from the point of view of diagnosis, prognosis and treatment.
Use of the dynamic compression plate for treatment of equine long-bone fractures.
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association    February 15, 1976   Volume 168, Issue 4 309-315 
Turner AS, Milne DW, Gabel AA.Long-bone fractures of 6 foals admitted consecutively to the Ohio State University Veterinary Hospital were treated successfully with ASIF dynamic compression plating. The cases included 2 foals with closed fracture of the metacarpus, and 1 foal each with open nonunion of the metatarsus, closed fracture of the radius, open fracture of the tibia, and open fracture of the ulna. Five of these foals became sound, with no deformity, so they could be trained for racing or showing. The 6th foal, a filly with nonunion, became "pasture-sound" and was scheduled for breeding. It was concluded that the dy...

Williams PF, Brooks SP, Cooper DR.Sir, — We wish to report the death of a foal due to a parasitic lesion caused by Parascaris equorum..P equorum is reported to cause periodic colic, enterilis, obstructive colic with occasional rupture of the small intestine. However, personal communications with other veterinarians and our experience indicate fatal cases are not as common as indictaed in the literature.

Eimeria leuckarti infection in foals.
National Institute of Animal Health quarterly    January 1, 1976   Volume 16, Issue 2 59-64 
Sutoh M, Saheki Y, Ishitani R, Inui S, Narita M, Hamazaki H, Yokota T.This is the first report on Eimeria leuckarti infection in foals in Japan. Seven Thoroughbred or Angloarabian foals 2 to 7 months of age raised in the Hidaka district, Hokkaido, were infected with E. leuckarti. They died of severe alterations caused by the larval migration of Strongylus vulgaris, and were examined over a period from 1970 to 1973. Protozoa of this species were observed in the small intestine in all the foals. They were found mostly in vacuoles of the cytoplasm of monoclear cells in the lamina propria at or near the tip of villi. Various stages of gametocytes, oocysts, and micro...

Evidence of respiratory tract infection induced by equine herpesvirus, type 2, in the horse.
Canadian journal of microbiology    December 1, 1975   Volume 21, Issue 12 1940-1946 doi: 10.1139/m75-281
Blakeslee JR, Olsen RG, McAllister ES, Fassbender J, Dennis R.Five horses were experimentally exposed to equine herpesvirus 2 strain LK. Two young foals developed chronic pharyngitis (98 and 232 days, respectively). Growth characteristics, cytopathic effects (CPE), inclusion body formation, ether sensitivity, and immunofluorescent analysis indicated that the virus recovered from infected animals was a herpesvirus serologically identical with, or at least antigenically related to EHV-2 strain LK. No significant complement-fixing (CF) or virus-neutralizing (VN) antibody responses were observed in adult horses while both foals demonstrated a rise in CF anti...
Release of prostaglandin F-2alpha during foaling in mares.
Journal of reproduction and fertility    December 1, 1975   Volume 45, Issue 3 541-543 doi: 10.1530/jrf.0.0450541
Sharma OP.The concentrations of PGF-2alpha in the peripheral blood of five foaling mares were measured by radioimmunoassay. Low levels of PGF-2alpha were detected as early as 1 week before foaling in two of the mares. These levels increased steadily, reaching a peak (1-74 +/- 0-44 ng/ml) during fetal expulsion. A relatively high PGF-2alpha level was found in samples collected 60 min after foaling.

An expansion and compression technique for reducing and stabilizing proximal epiphyseal fractures of the tibia in foals.
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association    October 15, 1975   Volume 167, Issue 8 733-738 
White NA, Wheat JD.Proximal tibial epiphyseal fractures in 2 foals were reduced and stabilized by expansion and compression between 2 transversely placed Steinman pins, one on each side of the fracture. A Charnley apparatus or turnbuckles placed between the pins on each side of the fracture provided the mechanical advantage for repositioning the fracture fragments and achieving rigid fixation during healing. A light cast was applied over the fixation apparatus, keeping the limb in an extended position. The cast and fixation apparatus were removed after 4 weeks. The technique allowed rapid healing and adequate am...
The development and distribution of mucosal enzymes in the small intestine of the fetus and young foal.
Journal of reproduction and fertility. Supplement    October 1, 1975   Issue 23 717-723 
Roberts MC.Lactase and cellobiase were detectable in the fetal intestine by the 3rd month of gestation, and although there was little change by the 9th month, maximal levels were reached at birth and steadily declined after 4 months. Conversely maltase, sucrase and trehalase were barely discernible in the fetus, maltase being present at low levels at birth, but all increased during the suckling period to attain adult levels by 7 months of age. Alkaline phosphatase activity matured earlier than did disaccharidase activity. Mucosal enzymes other than alkaline phosphatase were virtually absent from meconium...
The development of the lung and its surfactant in the foal and in other species.
Journal of reproduction and fertility. Supplement    October 1, 1975   Issue 23 651-657 
Pattle RE, Rossdale PD, Schock C, Creasey JM.The development of the lung from the glandular through the canalicular to the alveolar stages in the horse fetus is described. Traces of surfactant and occasional lamellated osmiophilic bodies representing intracellular surfactant were found at 150 days of gestation, some 40 to 60 days before the transition to the canalicular stage. During this transition some of the cuboidal cells of the glandular rosettes are transformed into cells of Types I and II, but the surfactant is not fully developed until 300 days or, in some foals, until after delivery.
