Body condition score, morphometric measurements and estimation of body weight in mature Icelandic horses in Denmark

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2016
BackgroundObesity is related to the development of several diseases like insulin resistance and laminitis in horses. The prevalence of obesity among mature Icelandic horses in Denmark has not been investigated previously.

Gait Analysis of Horses for Lameness Detection with Radar Sensors [PDF]

, 2017
This paper presents the preliminary investigation of the use of radar signatures to detect and assess lameness of horses and its severity. Radar sensors in this context can provide attractive contactless sensing capabilities, as a complementary or ...

Palatability, glycemic, and insulinemic responses to various carbohydrate formulations: Alternatives for the diagnosis of insulin dysregulation in horses?

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2023
Background Oral glycemic challenge (GC) tests are recommended for diagnosis of insulin dysregulation (ID). Various protocols are used, but all have limitations in terms of palatability, ease of use, variable composition, geographic availability, or some ...

Hypoxic training increases maximal oxygen consumption in Thoroughbred horses well-trained in normoxia. [PDF]

, 2017
Hypoxic training is effective for improving athletic performance in humans. It increases maximal oxygen consumption (V̇O2max) more than normoxic training in untrained horses. However, the effects of hypoxic training on well-trained horses are unclear. We

Runs of homozygosity reveal signatures of positive selection for reproduction traits in breed and non-breed horses

BMC Genomics, 2015
Modern horses represent heterogeneous populations specifically selected for appearance and performance. Genomic regions under high selective pressure show characteristic runs of homozygosity (ROH) which represent a low genetic diversity.

A nonsense mutation in B3GALNT2 is concordant with hydrocephalus in Friesian horses [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Hydrocephalus in Friesian horses is a developmental disorder that often results in stillbirth of affected foals and dystocia in dams. The occurrence is probably related to a founder effect and inbreeding in the population.

Faecal microbiota characterisation of horses using 16 rdna barcoded pyrosequencing, and carriage rate of clostridium difficile at hospital admission

BMC Microbiology, 2015
The equine faecal microbiota is very complex and remains largely unknown, while interspecies interactions have an important contribution to animal health. Clostridium difficile has been identified as an important cause of diarrhoea in horses.

Comparison of Fecal Microbiota of Mongolian and Thoroughbred Horses by High-throughput Sequencing of the V4 Region of the 16S rRNA Gene

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2015
The hindgut of horses is an anaerobic fermentative chamber for a complex and dynamic microbial population, which plays a critical role in health and energy requirements.
