The sport of equestrianism is defined through close horse-rider interaction. However, no consistent baseline parameters currently exist describing the coordination dynamics of horse-rider movement across different equine gaits. The study aims to employ accelerometers to investigate and describe patterns of motor coordination between horse and rider across the equine gaits of walk, rising trot, ...

A study was conducted for a period of 60 days to understand the socio-economic status of the horse keepers and explore the opportunity of Indigenous horse rearing in 22 villages of Mymensingh, Tangail, Sherpur and Jamalpur districts in Bangladesh. A total of 200 horse keeping households were surveyed through one-to-one interview. A pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect information. Farme...

Bu çalışmada, L-karnitinin (LC) eritme sonrası teke spermatozoonu üzerindeki etkilerinin değerlendirmesi amaçlandı. Cinsel olarak olgun tekelerden elde edilen sperm örnekleri pooling yapıldı ve beş eşit hacme bölündü. Farklı konsantrasyonlarda LC içeren (2.5mM /5mM/ 7.5mM/ 10 mM) içermeyen (kontrol) sulandırıcılar ile sulandırıldı donduruldu. Eritme motilite değerleri; LC5 LC7,5 gruplarında kon...

to investigate the prevalence of cryptosporidium infection in horses, a total of 200 fecal specimens were collected randomly from five farms in tehran. samples were taken during a year, 50 specimens each season. of these specimens, 57 were obtained from caspian pony. the presence of oocysts in the samples was confirmed by modified ziehl-neelsen staining of direct smears of the fecal material fr...

horse shoe shaped lipoma of the upper extremity is a very rare entity. we present a case of 45 years old female who presented with painless progressive swelling over the distal forearm and tingling and numbness over the ulnar nerve territory. mri and surgical exploration showed a horse shoe shaped multilobulated lipoma encasing the distal ulna. the mass was excised in toto, and the sensory alte...

Managing a horse stable involves risks, which can have serious consequences for the stable, employees, clients, visitors and horses. Existing industrial or farm production risk management tools are not directly applicable to horse stables and they need to be adapted for use by managers of different types of stables. As a part of the InnoEquine project, an innovative web tool, InnoHorse, was dev...

In mammal circulation, ferritin-binding proteins (FBPs) are thought to be involved in clearance of circulating ferritin after complex formation with it through receptor-mediated uptake. However, there is no report on fetal FBP in fetal circulation. Although iron concentrations of fetal horse plasma were higher than those of adult horse plasma, plasma ferritin concentrations and ferritin-binding...

Hendra virus is a zoonotic paramyxovirus, which causes severe respiratory and neurological disease in horses and humans. Since 2012, the Hendra virus sub-unit G vaccine has been available for horse vaccination in Australia. Uptake of the vaccine has been limited and spill-over events of Hendra virus infection in horses continue to occur. We conducted an online, questionnaire-based cross-section...

the scope for using sunflower cake in ration formulation was tested in 6 horses employed for equine tourism. three experimental diets providing the same amount of proteins and energy as the control diet were formulated using rising doses of sunflower cake (sd3: 0.3 kg; sd6: 0.6 kg and sd10: 1.0 kg). digestibility evaluation using internal markers showed that rising sunflower cake doses reduced ...
