Topic:Veterinary Care
Veterinary care in horses encompasses the medical and preventive measures taken to maintain and improve the health and well-being of equine patients. It includes a wide range of practices such as routine health examinations, vaccinations, dental care, parasite control, and management of injuries and diseases. Veterinary care also involves diagnostic procedures, surgical interventions, and therapeutic treatments tailored to the specific needs of horses. This page gathers peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore various aspects of equine veterinary care, including advancements in diagnostic techniques, treatment protocols, and health management strategies to support the well-being and performance of horses.
The fluorescent antibody technique in the diagnosis of equine rhinopneumonitis virus abortion. Using two known positive equine viral rhinopneumonitis (EVR) sera, conjugates were prepared with fluorescein isothiocyanate and tested for specificity using EVR infected tissue culture cells. The conjugate was then applied to selected tissues from 32 aborted fetuses and foals submitted during a natural outbreak of EVR. Antigen was detected in various tissues by immunofluorescence in 20 cases (62.5%). In 24 cases bovine fetal kidney cell monolayers were inoculated with a pool of lung and liver and EVR virus was isolated from 15 (62.5%). Histological examination of various tissues from 29 cases ...
The autoxidation of horse hemoglobin: the effect of glutathione. The reduced glutathione in the erythrocyte was found to inhibit the autoxidation of purified horse hemoglobin. It was observed that much higher concentrations of oxidized glutathione also stabilize hemoglobin. The stabilization by oxidized glutathione most likely involves the formation of a mixed disulfide with the reactive β-93 sulfhydryl groups on the hemoglobin. A similar effect is also observed with N-ethyl- maleimide and HgCl2 which also react with the sulfhydryl groups. The apparent stabilization by reduced glutathione is partially due to the reduction of ferrihemoglobin formed by autox...
Klossiella equi Baumann, 1946 (Sporozoa: Eucoccidia: Adeleina) from equids. Kidneys from 5 of 40 ponies (Equus caballus) and from 3 of 14 burrows (Equus asinus) were found infected with Klossiella equi. In addition to previously reported sporogonous stages in epithelial cells of Henle's loop, schizogonic stages in endothelial cells of Bowman's capsule and epithelial cells of the proximal convoluted tubules are described. The association of macro- and micro-gametocytes in syzygy is discounted, and a microgametocyte with 8 to 10 microgametes is characterized. Microgametes in the process of migrating to macro gametes are reported. A life cycle for this parasite is propos...
