Storage and horses encompasses the study of how various storage conditions impact equine-related materials, such as feed, medications, and biological samples. Proper storage is essential for maintaining the quality and efficacy of these materials, which can influence equine health and management. Different factors, including temperature, humidity, and light exposure, can affect the stability and safety of stored items. For instance, feed storage conditions can impact nutritional content and the risk of contamination, while medication storage can affect drug potency and safety. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the effects of storage conditions on equine-related materials, examining best practices and guidelines for optimal storage in equine management.
McManus AT, Robinson DM.Reconstituted Venezulean equine encephalitis vaccine was found to retain significant titers of plaque-forming virus after storage at 4 or 22 C for 24 hr.
Parsley AL, Hollingshead NA, Gruber EJ.To minimise storage-related artefacts, EDTA-anticoagulated whole blood should be evaluated promptly or refrigerated, a challenge in ambulatory practice. The effects of suboptimal blood storage on equine leukocyte parameters are not well-documented. Objective: Document changes in leukocyte number, automated and manual differential counts, and morphology in equine blood stored at four temperatures for up to 5 days. Methods: In vitro experimental. Methods: EDTA-anticoagulated whole blood from 13 horses was stored in a refrigerator (4°C), cooler with icepacks (3°C-19°C), room temperature (22Â...
