Topic:Horse Management
Horse management encompasses the practices and techniques used to care for and maintain horses in various settings, including stables, pastures, and performance environments. This area of study covers a range of activities such as feeding, grooming, housing, exercise, and health monitoring to ensure the well-being and optimal performance of horses. Effective horse management requires an understanding of equine behavior, nutrition, and physiology, as well as the ability to implement routine care practices and respond to health issues. This page gathers peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the methods, strategies, and outcomes associated with different horse management practices.
Recent developments in the law relating to veterinary certificates of soundness. The paper examines recent developments in the law which have extended criminal and civil liability for veterinary certificates of soundness. Criminal liability under the Trade Descriptions Act 1968 is first considered. There follows a discussion of civil liability at common law and under the Misrepresentation Act 1967.
The paper then examines the standard of care required of a veterinary surgeon in preparing a certificate, and, after some general considerations, deals specifically with questions relating to the purpose of the examination, the extent of the examination, and testing for pheny...
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...
Determination of amphetamine in urine and blood. The determination of amphetamine in body fluids is of interest in veterinary toxicology because of the possible use of amphetamine in the doping of race horses. Many types of methods for its detection and determination have been developed. In the newest methods gas chromatography and mass spectrometry have been applied, making it possible to detect and identify 1 µg amphetamine in blood samples ( 1970).
