Context‐aware machine learning for lameness side and severity prediction in trotting horses: A proof‐of‐concept study

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In clinical practice, lameness evaluation often relies on visual assessment under different examination conditions, including ground and figures, and remains subjective. Although objective symmetry indices provide quantitative measures of gait asymmetry, their interpretation across multiple conditions remains challenging because ...

Serum osteocalcin is associated with scintigraphic abnormalities in lame and clinically sound racehorses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Musculoskeletal injury is a major welfare and economic challenge in racehorses, with stress‐related bone injury contributing to training interruption and catastrophic failure. Advanced imaging modalities can detect early skeletal pathology but remain limited in routine screening environments.

Validation of a novel instrumented hoof boot with pressure sensors using force plate gait kinetics in horses at walk and trot

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Force plates (FP) are considered the gold standard for quantitative equine gait evaluation but are limited to experimental use. An instrumented hoof boot (IHB) with pressure sensors and an inertial measurement unit would allow clinicians to objectively assess kinetic parameters and gait symmetry.

Pass rates using the FEI noseband measurement device at British Dressage 2025 Championships

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Appropriate fitting of equipment provides horse comfort and avoids compromising equine welfare. In May 2025, the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) introduced an evidence‐based measuring device that is passed beneath the noseband to ensure sufficient laxity.

Warmed intravenous fluid administration attenuated a reduction in body temperature in anaesthetised horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Peri‐anaesthetic hypothermia is a well‐documented complication of general anaesthesia and is associated with prolonged recovery, impaired wound healing, and delayed coagulation. Fluid warmers can be used to mitigate heat loss, but there is little evidence supporting their effectiveness in equine anaesthesia.

Predicting outcomes in equine peritonitis: Multivariable analysis of admission and post‐admission data from a UK hospital population

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Peritonitis is life‐threatening, and limited information exists regarding outcomes and predictors of survival. Objectives To report short‐ and long‐term outcomes in horses diagnosed with peritonitis and identify factors associated with survival. Study Design Retrospective observational. Methods Data were obtained for horses admitted

Neurolathyrism in Sub‐Saharan Africa—Assessing the Neurotoxic Risks of Lathyrus sativus Amid Drought and Food Security Challenges

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Representation of grass pea consumption in drought‐stricken sub‐Saharan Africa sustains nutrition, but excess β‐ODAP exposure due to multiple reasons triggers neurolathyrism, a progressive neurotoxic disorder. ABSTRACT Neurolathyrism is a progressive motor neuron disease due to the consumption of Lathyrus sativus (grass pea) over long periods.

Food Security Versus Environmental Health: The Nitrogen Dilemma

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth and, consequently, crop production. However, the cycling of nitrogen in the environment can have negative effects. Here, we review the historical development of scientific and public awareness of these effects and the influence this has had on political action to control them.

Macronutrient and micronutrient profiles of meat types: insights into human health and diet

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite considerable advances in global health and nutrition, emerging challenges such as population growth, climate change, and limited natural resources continue to threaten food security. Meat remains an essential component of the human diet, supplying high‐quality proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, and minerals necessary ...
