Study in 'Type'
Plasma And Urine Electrolyte And Mineral Concentrations In Thoroughbred Horses With Recurrent Exertional Rhabdomyolysis After Consumption Of Diets Varying In Cation-anion Balance
To determine whether plasma, urine, and fecal electrolyte and mineral concentrations differ between clinically normal horses and Thoroughbreds with recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER) after consumption of diets varying in cation-anion balance.
Speed Associated With Plasma pH, Oxygen Content, Total Protein And Urea In An 80 Km Race
To test the hypothesis that endurance performance may be related quantitatively to changes in blood, we measured selected blood variables then determined their reference ranges and associations with speed during an 80 km race.
Effects Of Fat Adaptation On Glucose Kinetics And Substrate Oxidation During Low-intensity Exercise
This study was designed to determine the effects of fat adaptation on carbohydrate and fat oxidation in conditioned horses during low-intensity exercise.
Dietary Grain And Endurance Exercise

Endurance Exercise: Is Potassium Supplementation Beneficial?
Effects of potassium supplementation were evaluated in four studies in endurance horses during races and treadmill exercise.
Prediction Of Foaling Using Mammary Secretion Constituents
AIMS: To test published models for predicting time of foaling using data derived from prepartum mammary secretions and to develop a new model based on concentrations of mammary secretion constituents that accurately predicts time of foaling in Thoroughbred mares.
Effects Of An External Nasal Strip And Frusemide On Pulmonary Haemorrhage In Thoroughbreds Following High-intensity Exercise
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an external nasal strip (NS), frusemide (FR) and a combination of the 2 treatments (NS + FR) on exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH) in Thoroughbred horses. It was hypothesized that both the NS and FR would attenuate EIPH as assessed by red blood cell count in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
Reproductive Efficiency Of Thoroughbred Mares On Different Forage Regimens With Supplementation Of Retinyl Palmitate And Beta-carotene.
Greiwe-Crandell KM, SD Kronfeld, LS Gay, D Sklan, PA Harris. 1997. Vitamin A repletion in Thoroughbred mares with retinyl palmitate or ß-carotene. J. Anim. Sci. 75:2684-2690. Reproductive efficiency in the mare is lowest among domestic livestock. Researchers set out to determine if this may be partly dependent on vitamin A status of mares. To test […]
Growth Of Thoroughbreds Fed A Low-protein Supplement Fortified With Lysine And Threonine
Growth and protein status were examined in Thoroughbred foals and yearlings offered pasture supplements with different crude protein contents and amino acid compositions.
