Osteochondrosis (OC) is the most common developmental orthopaedic disease in horses and represents a major problem to horse industry. The complete mechanism of this multifactorial not yet elucidated, but it accepted that OC lesions are result intrinsic genetic external factors. aim present work was evaluate relationship between breeding management OC. Breeding conditions were recorded, radiological examination performed 223 foals. Feeding practice housing analysed multivariate model...
Pregnant mares and post-weaning foals are often fed concentrates rich in soluble carbohydrates, together with forage. Recent studies suggest that the use of is linked to alterations metabolism development osteochondrosis foals. The aim this study was determine if broodmare diet during gestation affects metabolism, osteoarticular status growth yearlings overfed from 20 24 months age and/or sexual maturity prepubertal colts.Twenty-four saddlebred were forage only (n = 12, group F) or cracked...
Introduction Obesity is a growing concern in horses. The effects of maternal obesity on metabolism and low-grade inflammation during pregnancy, as well offspring growth, metabolism, inflammation, testicular maturation osteochondrotic lesions until 18 months age were investigated. Material methods Twenty-four mares used separated into two groups at insemination according to body condition score (BCS): Normal (N, n = 10, BCS ≤4) Obese (O, 14, ≥4.25). plasma glucose, insulin, triglyceride,...
Abstract Objectives – The aim of this study is to describe the prevalence postoperative laminitis in colic cases and determine if low‐molecular‐weight heparin (LMWH) effective preventing complication. Design Retrospective clinical study. Animals Client‐owned horses. Interventions SC administration enoxaparin during period. Measurements Main Results Medical records 360 horses undergoing surgery for surviving at least 3 days were evaluated. Fifty‐six admitted before 1995 did not receive LMWH...
A retrospective study evaluated 200 surgical colic cases. gravity score (GS) based on four clinical parameters estimating intestinal obstruction (rectal palpation, borborygmi, abdominal distension, pain) and classified into three categories was established tested to determine if it could evaluate prognosis. shock (SS) six also attributed each case. The overall survival rate 54 %. statistical analysis showed a significant ( P < 0.01) difference in the different of GS, as well SS....
Summary Reasons for performing study: Intensive exercise induces a systemic inflammatory response characterised by an increase of blood neutrophil count and myeloperoxidase (MPO) release. Neutrophil elastase (NE) could also contribute to tissues lesions its proteinase activities. Objective: To compare plasmatic NE concentrations before after different forms intensive exercise. Materials methods: EDTA samples were taken from 51 eventing horses (EvH) 32 endurance (EndH) sampled the race (T0)....
Osteochondrosis is a developmental orthopedic disease characterized by defect of enchondral ossification. This pathological condition develops and evolves during growth influenced various factors, in particular genetic environmental. However, little research has been conducted on the dynamic this horses after age 12 months. The retrospective study presented here investigates changes osteochondrosis lesions through two standardized radiographic examinations carried out young Walloon sport one...
Although rarely fatal, complications of ventral midline laparotomy incision in equine patients increase hospitalization cost and duration may jeopardize return to athletic function. Therefore, many techniques have been developed reduce their occurrence expedite resolution when they occur. Our technique celiotomy closure includes the use tension sutures (vertical U mattress) polyglactin 910 on linea alba, which is then apposed by interrupted or a simple continuous pattern suture with stop...
The objectives of this study were to describe and relate perioperative changes in blood leukocyte counts the outcome surgical colic horses, determine a cut-off value early postoperative period obtain an indicator outcome, compare obtained validation population horses. Fifty-three horses undergoing surgery included descriptive part study. Total performed before, during serially after surgery. A receiver operating characteristic analysis was on 45 these for outcome. results validated second...
Objectives (1) Evaluate the occurrence and variables associated with incisional morbidities (IMs) after ventral median laparotomy when using interrupted vertical mattress sutures (IVMS) (2) determine of abdominal bandage‐associated complications in horses. Methods Occurrence IM were determined single laparotomies (SL group; n=546 horses) repeat (RL group: multiple within four weeks; n=30 horses that survived ≥7 days postoperatively. Univariate analysis multivariate logistic regression...
We studied the interactions of isolated equine neutrophils with endothelial cells in culture, mimicking a situation acute inflammation. Our main purpose was to demonstrate that supernatant activated sufficient damage cells. Equine (from carotid arteries) were covered either increased numbers stimulated by phorbol myristate acetate, or collected after an vitro stimulation neutrophils. Cytotoxicity estimated release preincorporated 51Cr, and light microscopy observations. To assert specific...
This study is part of a work to develop radiographic method that defines objectively the individual conformation an equine digit and its appropriate trimming. The authors used isolated distal limbs on rotation support influence induced foot rotations several angles measured from specific radiographs. results this enabled quantify proximal phalanx compared distal, determine exactly possible in interphalangeal joint. It was also observed that, faced with forced foot, responded by hoof plastic...
Summary Adaptation of an in‐foot shoe force sensor and the gait analysis system 'Fscan' makes it possible to monitor distribution vertical forces under equine foot in motion. The aim this study is investigate effects two different trimmings on during trot. first one increased height lateral hoof wall second restored mediolateral balance foot. These were examined by using a radiographical method that quantifies interphalangeal articular asymmetries due asymmetrical bearing. location centre...
In cases of equine acute abdominal disease, where pancreatic damage is suspected, can be assessed by measuring increased trypsin activity in the plasma horses suffering intestinal obstruction and severe shock. The pancreas particularly vulnerable to splanchnic hypoperfusion because it a highly active tissue. this study, 10 undergoing surgery for were assayed on admission and, extensive lesions that not amenable surgery, euthanasia was selected; removed before euthanasia. Trypsin these...
Summary This study is part of a work to develop radiographic method that defines objectively the individual conformation an equine digit and its appropriate trimming. The authors used isolated distal limbs fastened on rotation support with variable inclinations influence induced asymmetric bearings various angles measured from specific radiographs. responded by 1. deformation hoof; 2. phalanges; 3. joint asymmetry or local articular space narrowing. two last situations occurred mainly in...
Whereas the effect of heel configuration on tension suspensory apparatus is well documented in literature, there are few reports joint contact force components equine distal forelimb.To improve understanding digit loading, a sensitivity analysis was performed to compare raised coffin and fetlock joints during stance phase trot.Four Warmblood horses were used. An inverse dynamic carried out using kinematic kinetic data. Taking into account tendon wrapping forces (WF) around sesamoid bones...
