Topic:Urea
Urea is a nitrogen-containing compound that is a byproduct of protein metabolism in horses. It is produced primarily in the liver and is excreted through the kidneys. Urea levels in horses can be indicative of various physiological and metabolic states, including protein intake and kidney function. Elevated or decreased urea levels may reflect changes in dietary protein, hydration status, or renal health. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the production, regulation, and clinical implications of urea in equine physiology and health.
Levels of some chemical constituents in normal horse sera. THE chemical analyses reported in this paper arc the result of an investigation on the sera of thirty normal horses from a heavy draught horse stable in Glasgow. Determinations have been made of scrum proteins (albumin and total globulin), alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin, calcium, magnesium, inorganic phosphate and urea. Estimations of some of these constituents have already been carried out by a number of workers, but in the majority of cases the investigation has been confined to one or two constituents relevant to the problem being studied, and many of the data available are a by-product of...
