Ranking trait was used as a selection criterion for competition horses to estimate racing performance. In the literature the most common approaches to estimate breeding values are the linear or threshold statistical models. However, recent studies have shown that a Thurstonian approach was able to fix the race effect (competitive level of the horses that participate in the same race), thus sugg...

REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY Gastrointestinal dysfunction occurs commonly following elective anaesthesia. Identification of risk factors may allow implementation of preventative measures to reduce the prevalence of colic following elective anaesthetic procedures. OBJECTIVES To examine risk factors associated with gastrointestinal dysfunction or post anaesthetic colic for horses undergoing ele...

The Arabian plate has been converging with Eurasia for 20-30 Ma, currently at 2-3 cm/year. Convergence is manifested differently along strike, with collision and tectonic escape in the west (Anatolia) and subduction of Arabia beneath Eurasia in the east (Iran). The reason for these differences may reflect the greater density of the Arabian lithosphere in the east relative to that in the west. F...

Cardiac adaptation to conditioning in horses was evaluated after empirical training based on trainers’ experience. Twelve purebred Arabian horses, aged (mean ± SD) 28.42 3.75 months, which did not perform any type of exercise prior the research, were submitted treadmill for six weeks. The program velocity run by horse at blood lactate concentration, determined an incremental test (IET), reached...

Water masses of different temperature and salinity partially govern the distributions of chlorophyll concentration. In the present paper, chlorophyll concentration has been deduced over the northeastern Arabian Sea and the southern Bay of Bengal using Ocean Color Monitor (OCM) data onboard Indian Remote Sensing Series Polar satellite (IRS-P4). The chlorophyll concentration is found to be higher...

This research aims at examining the learning performance of Arabian horses with use Join-up, Parelli’s Seven Games, and Clicker methods in combination separately. In research, thirty-six mares were examined combinations training applied. Before after application each method, directed to pass through a narrow-spaces walk on tarp. While applying methods, stress parameters, behavioral responses, r...

[1] Recent studies on biogeochemical cycling of carbon in the Arabian Sea, by Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), revealed that the Arabian Sea is a perennial source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. The surface pCO2 is governed by physical processes such as water mass transports, upwelling and winter convective mixing, and associated biological processes. Hence surface pCO2 distribution ...

evaluation of autogenous fibrinogen extracted from horse blood in fibrin glue and it's effects on horse's fibroblast and keratinocyte cells were preformed. fibrinogen has been obtained by glycine precipitation technique from horse's blood. fibroblast cells were separated by explant culture method from neck skin and keratinocytes were separated by enzyme digestion from lib samples...

background: brucellosis is a febrile zoonotic infectionand has worldwide distribution among humans as well asanimals. although the seroprevalence of brucellosis in variousanimals has been described in iran, there is only one report onequine brucellosis in the region. objectives: this study wascarried out to determine the seroprevalence of brucellosis inracing clubs and private horse owners in t...
