TL;DR: Hematological and biochemical dynamics in peripartum mares and neonatal foals are revealed and dehydration at the foaling and change of liver metabolism associated with the beginning of enteral nutrition are suggested.

TL;DR: Although training itself was associated with an overall reduction in inflammatory markers, horses receiving the supplement exhibited further reductions in their indicators of inflammation, providing novel evidence of nutritional supplementation reducing postexercise inflammation.

TL;DR: Important early studies on mammalian artificial insemination (AI) were carried out in equids, and at the end of the 19th century, the first AI programs were set up in horses, but frozen semen has not replaced cooled semen AI in the horse.

TL;DR: It is suggested that topical treatment with autologous PRG, as additional therapy, might be considered beneficial in the management of large-wound healing in horses, and it can be regarded as safe and inexpensive treatment that can be used in field.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis response is different with respect to the different fence heights of jumping course and the different time points of the recovery period.

TL;DR: Following semen deposition, PRP influences the mRNA expression of endometrial pro-inflammatory cytokines and iNOS in mares susceptible to PMIE, and in susceptible mares treated with an intrauterine infusion of PRP, the mRNA expressed was significantly down-regulated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of water temperature and soaking length on removal of nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) fractions and dry matter (DM) from legume and cool-season grass hays was investigated.

TL;DR: Histopathological evaluation revealed an eosinophilic granulomatous reaction associated with intralesional hyphae characteristic of Pythium insidiosum visualized by Gomori methenamine silver stain that revealed complete cure in 24 cases of cutaneous pythiosis.

TL;DR: There was no significant difference in the proportion of mares with prolonged CL function between the two oxytocin-treated groups, and collectively, oxytoc in treatment increased between control and oxytocIn-treated mares.

TL;DR: SLC through a species-specific colloid has been shown to be effective in selecting spermatozoa with good motility and normal morphology from stallion semen, and has been scaled-up to allow whole ejaculates to be processed in a practical manner.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that HMB and GO supplementation helps to prevent exercise-induced muscle damage is supported, and blood LA was higher immediately after exercise in the placebo group compared with the supplemented groups.

TL;DR: UNESP Univ Estadual Paulista, Dept Vet Hyg & Publ Hlth, Sch Vet Med & Anim Sci, BR-18618970 Sao Paulo, Brazil.

TL;DR: Reductions in phosphorus (P), potassium, and magnesium concentrations occurred with longer soaking times, resulting in high Ca:P ratios after 12 hours of soaking (P < .001), and soaking for 15-60 minutes did not result in nutrient deficiencies based on the requirements of a 500-kg horse in light work, however, supplementation of P after feeding hay soaked for 12 hours would be necessary to address high Ca-P ratios.

TL;DR: Topical application of sunflower-seed oil was beneficial in the healing process of experimentally induced skin wounds in horses, with best results for treatment of lumbar wounds, making it a therapeutic option in equine wound healing.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that the emotional response of naive purebred Arabian colts and fillies to initial training is lower in the case of sympathetic methods compared with the traditional training methods is explored, and that the response is differentiated with regard to the sex is explored.

TL;DR: This study aims to compare different methods for concentrating stallion semen with new methodologies, such as cushion and filtration, that aim to decrease the mechanical damage of centrifugation to sperm cells.

TL;DR: The amount of grazing time required for a horse to consume only its maintenance DE requirement and maintain zero BW change over a 6-week period was accurately predicted for period 1 only.

TL;DR: It is concluded that dopaminergic input to the adenohypophysis of mares and stallions varies with season and that the stimulatory effect of estradiol on prolactin secretion is not associated with a decrease in dopamin neurotransmission.

TL;DR: Over the past 5 years, a technique, using micromanipulation with the Piezo drill, is developed, which provides a method for biopsy of both small and large equine embryos, with accurate genetic diagnosis from the biopsied cells and normal pregnancy and foaling rates after transfer.

TL;DR: Whether enrofloxacin is safe to use as a conventional intrauterine infusion treatment as well as evaluating chronic effects, biopsies were performed and significant changes in grades were used to assess treatment effects.

TL;DR: Investigation of the topographical anatomy of m.

TL;DR: The development of procedures to cool and freeze sex-sorted sperm will be critical if this technology is to be embraced by the equine industry worldwide.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the solar length, width, area, and symmetry of young Catalan Pyrenean horses (Cavall Pirinenc Catala) reared under semi-extensive conditions and lacking any hoof care, trimming, or shoeing.

TL;DR: The physiology of hyperactivated motility in stallion spermatozoa is explored and many of the mechanisms present in other species to be in place in the stallion are found.

TL;DR: Using multiple logistic regression analysis, the influence of mare age, reproductive status, twin pregnancy reduction, body condition score, estrus type in foaling mares, progesterone therapy, and endometrial cysts on pregnancy loss rates on days 17-35 and on day 35 until foaling in this population of mares in Japan is assessed.

TL;DR: It is argued that permanent contact with mares may increase reproductive efficiency of stallions suffering from low libido and/or fertility.

TL;DR: Blood lipid profile varied throughout the training program in Thoroughbred horses, and lipid utilization as an energy source improved with training in Standardbred trotters, whereas this was not the case in Th thoroughbred horses.

TL;DR: The knowledge gained by the many studies on follicular dynamics in the mare during follicular emergence, deviation, dominance and the periovulatory surge is used to propose why certain hormone regimens used for superovulation appear to be more successful than others.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of track surface condition, racecourse, and racing distance on the racing time of Thoroughbreds in flat races at 10 Japan Racing Association racecourses during a period of 5 years (2000-2004).
