TL;DR: Partial, partial stylohyoidostectomy was easily performed and caused no permanent complications and the horse that had a bilateral, partial ostectomy had residual prehension and mastication deficits when it was euthanatized 5 weeks after surgery.

TL;DR: A computerized saddle pressure measuring device has become available which will bring science and technology to the saddle industry as mentioned in this paper, which can measure pressures exerted on the horse' s back by the weightbearing saddle and give a multiple color scan similar in appearance to a thermogram.

TL;DR: Diets excessive in protein and energy, with unbalanced mineral ratios, are often selected by owners, resulting in unintentional over or undersupply of nutrients, further compromising ration quality.

TL;DR: Investigation of a new method of remote vaccine delivery and characterize the antibodies produced by the horse following vaccination with porcine zona pellucida (pZP) found it to be easy to administer, effective, and did not result in abscess formation or produce any clinical problems.

TL;DR: In this paper, a race course belonging to the Japan Racing Association was found to have defects in its geometrical design which predisposed racehorses to injury, and the track was reconstructed to eliminate these defects.

TL;DR: In this clinical study, 29 acyclic mares with inactive ovaries were treated with an intravaginal device containing 1.9 g progesterone (CIDR-B) for 10 to 12 days and half of the mares treated during AS with CIDr-B only, and not with deslorelin ovulated; in all other of those mares, the preovulatory-size follicle regressed eventually.

TL;DR: It is concluded that commercially available orally administered sulfated GAGs at the dosage and treatment regimen recommended by the manufacturer had no anti-inflammatory or chondroprotective activity compared to untreated controls in the CFA induced equine carpitis model.

TL;DR: Studies were conducted to develop the technique of gamete intrafallopian tube transfer in mares using oocytes obtained by transvaginal ultrasound-guided follicular aspiration, with two mares confirmed pregnant based on ultrasound examination 12 and 17 days post-transfer.

TL;DR: Summary Data on 404 Thoroughbreds (102 stallions and 296 mares) in Spain were analyzed and the fertility and fecundity were 72.78% and 65.64% respectively, based on the number of mares mated.

TL;DR: Moxidectin was highly effective in reducing the numbers of coiled strongyle larvae and larvae in nodules in the cecal and colonic mucosa and there appeared to be an inverse relationship between age of pony and the extent of reduction in intestinal inflammation in response to moxidECTin treatment.

TL;DR: Colts were similar is size to the fillies at 14 d of age, however the colts grew at a faster rate than the Fillies, and estimated hip height, body length, depth of girth and width of chest at maturity were greater.

TL;DR: The current knowledge of the use of transvaginal ultrasound probe for elimination of twins is reviewed, as well as discussion on the best time during gestation for this technique to be used.

TL;DR: The FE of electrolytes and minerals is a practical, inexpensive and useful diagnostic tool that may enable recognition of renal and metabofic problems before they progress to an extreme, severely debilitating degree.

TL;DR: Astounding feats of mobility of the fetal amniotic unit accompanied by presentation, recumbency, and intrauterine location changes were viewed by transrectal ultrasonography, especially during Months 3 and 4.

TL;DR: Tapew Worms in the pyrantel tartrate treated horses were eliminated, whereas tapeworms inthe nontreated horse persisted through the 30 day trial.

TL;DR: Foal growth, development and bone mineral deposition were not affected by TM supplementation of the dams but serum Zn (P) was not affected and gradually declined.

TL;DR: Clinical observations, anesthetic protocol, post anesthetic evaluation attempting to provide physiological suggestions that result in the neurological complication, and a post-mortem exam were performed.

TL;DR: CVMUA is a technique which evolved from investigations into both unsubstantiated equine and qualified human physiotherapy methodology and became a veterinary-only technique with a wide safety range and clinical responses of long duration.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of rubber particles and water-absorbing polymer granules on reducing cushion hardness (impact resistance), as well as creating conditions for more efficient use of water that is applied.

TL;DR: Belgian mares appear to have follicular dynamics similar to those reported for Thoroughbred horses, particularly in relation to ovulation when compared with observations made in other breeds.

TL;DR: No noticeable digestive disturbances occurred as a result of the abrupt introduction of diets to horses and no “cribbing” problems or apparent cases of choking were observed throughout the study.

TL;DR: Factors significantly affecting blood selenium concentration included feeding supplements, origin of hay and amount of time spent on pasture and there was also evidence that level of exercise and gender of the horse may contribute to differences in blood seenium concentrations.

TL;DR: The use of hoof caulks changed limb configuration in a way which might change the forces placed on the joint surface, or on the tendinous/ligamentous structures in the lower limb.

TL;DR: In two separate studies, implanted carbon fibers were used to treat tendinitis of the digital flexor tendon in Thoroughbred racehorses.

TL;DR: Two experiments were conducted to determine when a placental source of progestin was sufficient for maintaining pregnancy in the mare and serum con- centrations ofprogestins in ovary-intact mares were greater than normal.
