Fecal ARGs characterized progressive feralization of Przewalski's horses via re-introduction

Global Ecology and Conservation
Re-introduction of captive endangering or extinct animals to their native habitats holds profound ecological significance. But evaluating the feralization progress of re-introduced “wild” animals requires concise and quantitative indicator(s) to ...

Whole genome detection of sequence and structural polymorphism in six diverse horses.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The domesticated horse has played a unique role in human history, serving not just as a source of animal protein, but also as a catalyst for long-distance migration and military conquest.

The effect of resveratrol on the cryopreservation of Mongolian horse semen

Archives Animal Breeding
Abstract. Cryopreservation of semen has advanced significantly with the development of artificial insemination techniques, but post-thawed sperm often exhibit reduced viability, membrane integrity, and acrosome integrity compared to fresh sperm, leading to decreased fertilization capacity.

Yard differences in training, management and orthopedic injury in showjumping, riding school, and thoroughbred race horses [PDF]

, 2012
Musculoskeletal injuries are a major cause of wastage in Thoroughbred racing and equestrian sport. Epidemiological studies in racehorses have demonstrated that risk of injury vary between trainers and with differences in training regimens, but few ...

Differential shaping of equine gut microbiota structure and function by breed and feeding regimen

Frontiers in Microbiology
BackgroundThe gut microbiota plays an essential role in host energy metabolism and immune function. Horses are non-ruminant herbivores that rely heavily on hindgut microbial fermentation to meet their energy requirements.

Refining the evolutionary tree of the horse Y chromosome

Scientific Reports, 2023
The Y chromosome carries information about the demography of paternal lineages, and thus, can prove invaluable for retracing both the evolutionary trajectory of wild animals and the breeding history of domesticates.

The domestic and the wild in the Mongolian horse and the takhi

, 2015
Against a strong head wind we reached this almost flat plateau, at a height of 6,800 ft., and immediately saw, a few kilometers off, a group of animals galloping away from us at full speed. My Mongolian companion, Namkhajdorj Balgan, recognised them at once with the naked eye as Przewalski wild horses, and subsequent observation with a telescope ...
