Transcriptomic signatures reveal systemic adaptations and immune modulation in response to training and competitive racing in horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The molecular mechanisms underlying adaptation to physical exertion and racing stress in horses remain incompletely understood. Peripheral blood transcriptomics offers a minimally invasive method to monitor systemic responses to exercise and identify biomarkers of adaptation or overload. Objectives To evaluate transcriptomic changes

Epidemiology of Musculoskeletal Injury during Racing on New Zealand Racetracks 2005–2011

Animals, 2017
The objective of the study was to determine the incidence of veterinary events that resulted in a horse failing to finish a race and identify risk factors for musculoskeletal injury (MSI) during a race. Data were obtained on Thoroughbred flat race starts

What happened after the epidemic? Equine influenza surveillance sheds light on sources and seasonal risk in the United Kingdom

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The epidemiology of equine influenza (EI) in the United Kingdom has not been systematically described since the 2019 epidemic. Objectives To summarise UK EI surveillance (2020–2024), quantify outbreak seasonality and assess movement‐related sources. Study Design Retrospective observational analysis of national surveillance and horse

Tracheal wash culture is not associated with bronchial infection, remodelling or inflammation in horses with asthma

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Antimicrobials are commonly prescribed for the treatment of equine asthma, despite limited evidence supporting their use. Tracheal wash (TW) bacterial culture results are known to influence antimicrobial prescription decisions. Objectives To determine whether a positive TW bacterial culture in horses with asthma is associated with ...

Exercising electrocardiograms from Thoroughbred racehorses with exercise associated sudden death

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Exercise associated sudden death (EASD), defined as a fatal collapse in a closely monitored and previously presumed clinically healthy horse that occurs during exercise or within approximately 1 h after exercise, is disproportionately more common in equine than in human athletes.

Comparative analysis of racing performance following surgical correction of epiglottic entrapment in standardbreds and thoroughbreds

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionEpiglottic entrapment (EE) is a common cause of poor performance in racing standardbreds (STBs) and thoroughbreds (TBs). There is limited information published on the condition in STB racehorses and limited information on factors associated ...

CD8+ T‐cells, CD86+ macrophages and TNF‐α signalling pathways are correlated with fetlock osteoarthritis in racehorses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background There is emerging evidence for the role of the immune system in osteoarthritis (OA) pathophysiology; however, little is known about how immune cells and the synovial transcriptome are altered in naturally occurring equine OA. Objectives To evaluate synovial fluid (SF) and synovial membrane (SM) immune cell populations and the SM ...

Computed Tomographic Evaluation of the Sagittal Ridge of the Third Metacarpal Bone in Young Thoroughbred Racehorses: A Longitudinal Study

Animals
Metacarpophalangeal joint region pain is a common cause of lameness in racehorses. Radiological abnormalities in the sagittal ridge (SR) of the third metacarpal bone have been associated with joint effusion, lameness and reduced sales prices.
