Equine Blood Microbiome in a Cohort of Clinically Healthy Trail Riding Horses

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 39, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Emerging research suggests the presence of a blood microbiome in clinically healthy individuals. Characterizing bacterial composition and abundance in blood from a group of healthy horses is of clinical interest. Hypothesis/Objectives Horses in a closed herd environment will have blood microbiomes with similarities among individuals.
