Horse and rider interaction during simulated horse jumping
The biomechanics of horse jumping have been researched over the past 15 years, with previous studies focusing on linear kinematics. Elements of those studies have included characteristics of gait [1], limb positions [2], movement of the Center of Gravity (CoG) at jump takeoff and landing [2] [3], and reaction forces at takeoff [1]. Clayton [3] explored the importance of the horse ’s angular momentum, as it might be a factor in improving a rider’s trunk movements. To date, however, the impact of a variety of other factors that may influence jumping results, including rider posture, remain unexamined. (Source: Journal of...

Recovery of Pasture Forage Production Following Winter Rest in Continuous and Rotational Horse Grazing Systems
Winter rest is commonly recommended to aid in re-growth of spring forage in horse pastures. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of previous grazing method [continuous (CON) vs. rotational (ROT)] on recovery of pasture production following a period of winter grazing exclusion. Pasture forage yield, persistence, and quality were assessed monthly in two horse pastures, one CON and one ROT, from April to August 2017. Herbage mass was greater in ROT in May (ROT 2,701.8 ± 176.0; CON 1,439.0 ±155.06 kg/ha; P = .0008), June (ROT 3,778 ± 21.59; CON 2,507.0 ± 274.7 kg/ha; P = .0007), and July (ROT 4,755.8 ± 26...

Salivary Glucocorticoid and Fecal Glucocorticoid Metabolite Concentrations in Pony Mares During Transrectal Palpation of the Reproductive Tract by Veterinary Students
Veterinary schools rely on live animals to assist in teaching veterinary students clinical procedures. The aims of the study were to (1) quantify a potential physiological stress response of teaching mares during veterinary student transrectal palpation of their reproductive tracts using fecal glucocorticoid metabolites (fGCM) and salivary glucocorticoid concentrations (sGC) and (2) to determine the relationship between the glucocorticoid concentrations and both the ages and palpation experience of the study animals.

Genetic diversity of Lusitano horse in Brazil using pedigree information
This study aimed to evaluate population parameters and to describe the genetic diversity of the Lusitano breed in Brazil using pedigree data. Two populations evaluated: total population (TP) containing 18,922 animals, and reference population (RP) composed of a part of TP containing 8,329 animals , representing the last generation. The generation interval (10.1 ± 5.1 years) was in the range for horse populations. Pedigree completeness in RP shows almost 100% filling in the three most recent generations, indicating improvement in the pedigree data and accuracy of the results.

Using Resveratrol and Epigallocatechin-3-gallate to improve cryopreservation of stallion spermatozoa with low-quality
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in semen with low-quality increased from 25% to about 40%. Resveratrol (Res) is a natural grape-derived phytoalexin and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the major polyphenol in green tea (Camellia sinensis); both molecules are known to have high levels of antioxidant activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of this antioxidant ’s supplementation on cryopreservation of stallion semen with poor quality. Exp1: Experiment design to asses of stallions semen quality (n = 3). (Source: Journal of Equine Veterinary Science)

Effect of Selenium and Vitamin E Supplementation on Lactate, Cortisol, and Malondialdehyde in Horses Undergoing Moderate Exercise in a Polluted Environment
The objective was to evaluate the supplementation effect of selenium (Se) and DL-tocopherol (E) on blood lactate (LAC), cortisol (COR), and malondialdehyde (MDA), in horses moderately exercised in a polluted environment. Police horses of Mexico City were arranged in a balanced factorial trial (2  × 2) with repeated measures. Low (L) and high (H) levels of Se and E supplementation were evaluated (LSe, 0.1; HSe, 0.3 mg Se/kg dry matter; LE, 1.6; HE, 2.0 IU vitamin E/kg body weight). Experimental groups were LSeLE, LSeHE, HSeLE, and HSeHE. (Source: Journal of Equine Veterinary Science)

The Pretransport Management of Stress in Performance Horses
The aim of this study was to ascertain whether DeStress nutritional therapy administration to performance horses before transportation would reduce stress expression in these animals. Ten performance horses were used in the present study offered either control (rice hulls) or treated (DeStress crumbles) diets before transportation. A cross-over design whereby all animals were tested both under control and treatment conditions was used. Orbital eye temperatures determined noninvasively before and after transportation using infrared thermography were used to monitor the efficacy of this nutritional therapy. (Source: Journal ...

Development of lateral flow assay for point-of-care diagnosis of trypanosomosis in equines
Trypanosomosis, commonly known as ‘Surra’ in Indian subcontinent caused by Trypanosoma evansi is a worldwide parasitic disease of wild and domestic animals. The disease is transmitted mechanically by biting and interrupted feeding of infected animals by haematophagous flies. The diagnostic methods available for this disease requ ire high-end instruments, skilled manpower and are time-consuming. In the present investigation, we attempted an immunoassay based on gold nanoparticles for diagnosis of T. (Source: Journal of Equine Veterinary Science)

Objective evaluation of the response to perineural analgesia of the deep branch of the lateral plantar nerve and intra-articular analgesia of the tarsometatarsal joint in horses with suspected proximal metatarsal pain using body-mounted inertial sensors
Perineural analgesia of the deep branch of the lateral plantar nerve (DBLPN block) and intra-articular analgesia of the tarsometatarsal joint (TMT block) are commonly used to differentiate pain originating from the distal tarsal and the proximal metatarsal areas in horses. However, both analgesic techniques have recently been subjected to close scrutiny, with questions raised as to their efficacy. The purpose of this study is to undertake an objective assessment of the effect of both diagnostic analgesia techniques on hindlimb lameness using a body-mounted inertial sensor system (Lameness Locator; Equinosis LLC, Columbia, ...

Effect of Natuzyme enzyme on fecal digestion and fermentation of wheat straw and alfalfa hay in Arabian horses
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Natuzyme enzyme mixture (0, 3, and 6 g/kg DM) on microbial digestion as well as fermentation of wheat straw and alfalfa hay in Arabian horse. Four female Arabian horses (3-4 years, average body weight 400 kg) were fed with diet containing 35% commercial concentrate+65% forage (wheat straw and alfalfa hay) for 2 weeks. The fermentation and gas production of wheat straw and alfalfa hay with different levels of Natuzyme enzyme were determined using standard in vitro gas production protocol (6 replicates).
