A longitudinal study of poor performance and subclinical respiratory viral activity in Standardbred trotters
INTRODUCTION While clinical respiratory disease is considered a main cause of poor performance in horses, the role of subclinical respiratory virus infections is less clear and needs further investigation. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES In this descriptive longitudinal study the relationship of markers of subclinical respiratory viral activity to occurrence of poor performance in racing Standardbred tro...
متن کاملEffect of age on locomotion of Standardbred trotters in training
In Standardbreds, the main aim of early training (begun during the growth period) is the mechanization of athletes leading to a particular gait called the ‘flying trot’. The present cross-sectional study was undertaken to investigate the biomechanical and physiological factors involved in this gait change, and aimed to analyse the effect of age on gait and energetic variables in a population of...
متن کاملOsteochondrosis (OCD) in the Tarsocrural Joint of Standardbred Trotters--Correlation Between Radiographic Findings and Racing Performance
In radiographs taken from the tarsocrural joints of 1190 Standardbred trotters, 147 (12.4%) showed signs of Osteochondrosis (OCD). These did not have surgery for OCD by arthrotomy or arthroscopy. No significant differences in racing performance parameters were found between horses with and without radiographic findings of OCD. Authors’ addresses: Fachtierarzt fuer Pferde, Klinik fuer Nutztiere ...
متن کاملUse of color Doppler echocardiography to assess the development of valvular regurgitation in Standardbred trotters.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the incidence and development of valvular regurgitation and its effect on racing performance in Standardbred trotters from 2 to 3.5 years of age. DESIGN Longitudinal observational study. ANIMALS 103 horses. PROCEDURE Horses were examined via echocardiographic imaging 4 times at 6-month intervals. Two-dimensional and M-mode echocardiographic examinations were performe...
متن کاملOral supplementation with superoxide dismutase in Standardbred trotters in training: a double-blind placebo-controlled study.
REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY Intense physical exercise produces an excess of reactive oxygen species which can disturb the antioxidant/oxidant balance of the horse in training. Several classes of antioxidant dietary compounds have been suggested to provide health benefits and there is evidence that consumption of these products leads to a reduction in the expression of various pro-inflammatory ...
