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.
Field studies of an attenuated Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis vaccine (strain TC-83). A series of field studies using strain TC-83 attenuated Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis vaccine in horses was made to determine the rate of seroconversions, the postvaccination viremia, and the possibility of adverse reactions to the vaccine. The rate of seroconversions varied from 50% in one study to 91 and 100% in two others. The highest level of viremia measured was 7 x 10(3) to 8 x 10(3) plaqueforming units per ml. No adverse reactions to the vaccine were observed in any horses, including 42 pregnant mares and their resulting foals.
Brucellosis in the horse. Brucella abortus infection in horses is important not only as a clinical entity but also as a potential source of infection for man and other animals. A review of the current knowledge of this disease in the horses is therefore thought to be useful. The incidence of infection in horses has been the subject of many surveys. Most authors used the serum agglutination test as an indication of infection. The majority of surveys were carried out in about 1930 and these showed a wide range in the proportion of positive reactors from 0.5 to 40 percent. Several factors would account for this: variation...
Thermography of the superficial flexor tendon in race horses. Thermography is the pictorial representation of infra-red (IR) emission from the surface of an object. IR emission from biological surfaces originates from two principal sources, circulation and metabolism, which are interdepen-dent. Changes in IR emission as recorded by thermography were correlated to changes in local blood circulation (BrAnemark & Nilsson 1969) and to changes in '33Xe disappearance rate (Stromberg & Norberg 1971). In 1969 Stromberg & Tufvesson, using microradiography, demonstrated that there were vascular changes in the superficial flexor tendon (SFT) even before clinical si...
Radiography of the tuber calcis and its use in thoroughbred training. The research article discusses a study on the correlation between delaying the training of thoroughbred horses until the epiphyseal closure of the tuber calcis (heel bone) is complete and the […]
Cases of equine coital exanthema in Denmark. A venereal disease usually designated equine coital exanthema (ECE) has been observed in horses all over the world. In a very few oases a virus, claimed to be the causative agent of the disease, has been isolated.
