Steamed hay for the prevention of severe equine asthma exacerbations. [PDF]
Equine Vet JAbstract Background Steaming hay reduces respirable particles and is commonly used to feed horses with asthma. However, it showed inconsistent benefits in clinical studies. Objectives (1) To assess the effects of steamed hay on lung function and airway inflammation in horses with severe equine asthma (SEA) in remission; (2) To compare these effects ...

Serum Vitamin D Level Is Unchanged in Equine Asthma [PDF]
AnimalsVitamin D deficiency is associated with asthma development and severity of symptoms in humans, but whether the same occurs in horses is unknown. We aimed to determine whether the serum vitamin D levels differ in horses with asthma compared to control ...

Airway Hyperresponsiveness, but Not Bronchoalveolar Inflammatory Cytokines Profiles, Is Modified at the Subclinical Onset of Severe Equine Asthma [PDF]
Animals, 2023 Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and inflammation are both observed in human and equine asthma. The aim of this study was to assess the timeline and relationship of both features at the subclinical onset of severe equine asthma (SEA).

Giant Multinucleated Cells Are Associated with Mastocytic Inflammatory Signature Equine Asthma [PDF]
Animals, 2022 Equine asthma is currently diagnosed by the presence of increased neutrophil (>5%), mast cell (>2%), and/or eosinophil (>1%) differential cell count. Macrophages are normal resident cells within the alveoli.

Equine Asthma Does Not Affect Circulating Myostatin Concentrations in Horses [PDF]
Animals(1) Background: The number of horses suffering from chronic respiratory diseases, resembling human asthma, is increasing but there is still a lack of reliable and accurate methods to detect these disorders.

Some Genetic and Environmental Effects on Equine Asthma in Polish Konik Horses [PDF]
Animals, 2021 Current knowledge of the genetic and environmental backgrounds of equine asthma seems to be insufficient, especially for primitive horse breeds. The main objectives of this study were to estimate the effects of sex, birth period, stud, parentage line and

Association between equine asthma and fungal elements in the tracheal wash: An environment-matched case-control study. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe presence of fungi in tracheal wash (TW) of horses was recently linked to mild-moderate equine asthma, indicating a possible causal role; however, increased numbers of fungi may also stem from asthma-related alteration of tracheal mucus clearance or ...
