From a dental viewpoint, incisor-luxation fractures in horses are fraught with complexities. Luxation fractures are defined as the dislocation of a tooth out of its alveolus without being totally avulsed from the mouth. These are dental emergencies with far-reaching implications. The periodontal and endodontic survival of the involved teeth depends on how these cases are handled. Owners should ...

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between race horse breed and the frequency of limb injuries through the time of training and racing. The study population consisted of 4042 Thoroughbred and 2553 Arabian horses raced at Warsaw race Track, from 2000 to 2008. Among these horses, 94 Thoroughbreds and 32 Arabians had different limb injuries. Based on the achieved results, it is possi...

Domestic horses represent a genetic paradox: although they have the greatest number of maternal lineages (mtDNA) of all domestic species, their paternal lineages are extremely homogeneous on the Y-chromosome. In order to address their huge mtDNA variation and the origin and history of maternal lineages in domestic horses, we analyzed 1961 partial d-loop sequences from 207 ancient remains and 17...

The diversity of farm animals is the result domestication species through a long process migration, selection, adaptation, and other natural events. This needs to be conserved demographic characteristics, recording production environment, effective data management. In this process, presented based on molecular biology tracing becomes very important because discovery so many breeds livestock fou...

The use of polymorphic markers in breeding programmes could make selection more accurate and efficient. A total of 324 individuals from six Iranian cattle populations (Sarabi, Golpayegani, Sistani, Taleshi, Mazandarani, Dashtiyari), F1 Golpayegani × Brown Swiss and Iranian buffalo populations were genotypedfor the Pit-1 HinfI and leptin Sau3AI polymorphisms by the polymerase chain reactio...

This study was undertaken to estimate the genetic parameters for some reproduction traits in Sistani beef cattle. The data set consisted of 1489 records of number of insemination, calving, and insemination dates in different calving was used. Reproduction traits including calving interval (CI), gestation length (GL), days open (DO), calving to first service (CTFS), first service to conception (...

Fragments of the distal border of the navicular bone are identified radiologically with low frequency in horses free from lameness. There is higher frequency of occurrence in horses with foot pain, especially navicular disease. The clinical significance of a fragment per se is controversial. There is limited knowledge about the progression of the lesion and/or lameness. The pathogenesis of frag...
