Similar locomotor patterns across Quarter Horse disciplines inform lameness assessment

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Lineage‐based selection is central to the Quarter Horse industry and is often justified by the assumption that morphology determines locomotor function. However, objective evidence linking static conformation to discipline‐specific locomotor behaviour under standardised conditions remains limited.

Straight sesamoidean ligament desmopathy commonly occurs with proximal interphalangeal joint osteoarthritis

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Proximal interphalangeal joint osteoarthritis (PIPJ OA) is a common cause of poor performance in the equine athlete; however, the supporting soft tissue structures surrounding the joint are seldom evaluated. Straight sesamoidean ligament injuries have been previously hypothesised to be concomitant with PIPJ OA; however, the ...

Effect of silica‐sprayed collection tubes on synovial fluid bacterial culture

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Introduction Silica‐sprayed tubes (SSTs) are often used to transport synovial fluid samples in equine practice. They promote the coagulation of the sample. The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of SST on bacterial culture.

Risk factors for horse falls in British jump racing (2010–2023)

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Horse falls are an important safety and welfare concern in jump racing, as they are associated with an increased risk of equine fatality and injury, as well as jockey injury. Objectives To identify risk factors for horse falls in British jump racing. Study Design Retrospective cohort.

Altered gene expression in the liver and small intestine of horses with equine neuroaxonal dystrophy

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Equine neuroaxonal dystrophy/degenerative myeloencephalopathy (eNAD/EDM) is the second most common diagnosis of spinal ataxia in horses in the United States. The disease develops due to a combination of vitamin E deficiency and an unknown genetic risk factor(s), and there currently is no effective treatment.

Effects of flow‐controlled expiration on oxygenation and early recovery in horses undergoing general anaesthesia

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background FLow‐controlled EXpiration (FLEX) has been shown to significantly enhance oxygenation in horses under clinical and experimental conditions. Objectives To compare pulmonary gas exchange during early recovery following general anaesthesia in horses ventilated with FLEX compared with conventional intermittent positive pressure ...

Diagnosis of bacteraemia in neonatal foals using 16S rRNA high‐throughput sequencing

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sepsis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in foals. Early diagnosis can improve outcome but is complicated by non‐specific clinical signs and delayed confirmation of infection via blood culture. Molecular assays represent a rapid and more sensitive alternative.

Using a wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) patch adapted for 7‐day monitoring in the horse

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Arrhythmias can cause poor performance and sudden death in horses. Long‐term (>24 h) electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring has been used to identify arrhythmias in humans and is superior to short‐term monitoring for transient arrhythmia detection. Televet is the current equine gold‐standard ECG device. The Cardea SOLO™ (CS) is a single‐

Duct‐level evaluation of mammary gland health, somatic cell count and bacterial flora in lactating jennies

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Assessing mammary gland health in donkeys is challenging due to the lack of species‐specific diagnostic criteria for subclinical mastitis. Although somatic cell count (SCC) is widely used in dairy ruminants, its diagnostic value in jennies remains unclear.

Pelvic axial rotation in hindlimb lame horses changes after diagnostic analgesia

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Visual assessment of mild to moderate hindlimb lameness has low sensitivity and specificity, potentially leading to flawed diagnostic procedures. Pelvic axial rotation (roll) makes the assessment more complex but is also a potential source of information. Objectives To describe pelvic roll patterns in horses with unilateral hindlimb
