Road Transport of Late-Pregnant Mares Advances the Onset of Foaling.

Journal of equine veterinary science
Cortisol is involved in the initiation of parturition and we hypothesized that increased maternal cortisol release advances the onset of foaling. Transport is a stressor for horses and induces an increase in cortisol release. To determine stress effe...

Secretion of equine chorionic gonadotropin and its association with supplementary corpus luteum formation and progesterone concentration in Hokkaido native pony recipient mares.

Domestic animal endocrinology
The objectives of this study were to determine the plasma profile of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) and its association with the formation of supplementary corpus luteum (CL) and plasma progesterone concentrations in embryo transfer Hokkaido nat...

Advances in gene ontology utilization improve statistical power of annotation enrichment.

PloS one
Gene-annotation enrichment is a common method for utilizing ontology-based annotations in gene and gene-product centric knowledgebases. Effective utilization of these annotations requires inferring semantic linkages by tracing paths through edges in ...

The Immunogenicity of the C Fragment of Tetanus Neurotoxin in Production of Tetanus Antitoxin.

BioMed research international
The demand of tetanus antitoxin (TAT) as tetanus treatment in developing and underdeveloped countries is still great since it is relatively easy to achieve and affordable. However, there are still issues in the preparation of highly effective TAT wit...

An Objective Assessment of the Effect of Anesthetizing the Median Nerve on Lameness Caused by Pain in the Cubital Joint.

Journal of equine veterinary science
The median nerve, along with the ulnar nerve, is often anesthetized when performing a lameness examination in horses. Because of the close proximity of the median nerve to the cubital joint, proximal migration of local anesthetic might ameliorate pai...

The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intravenous hydromorphone in horses.

Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia
OBJECTIVE: Describe the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intravenous hydromorphone in healthy horses.

Postthaw Addition of Autologous Seminal Plasma Improves Sperm Motion Characteristics in Fair and Poor Freezer Stallions.

Journal of equine veterinary science
During semen processing for cryopreservation, most seminal plasma is usually removed, and components with protective effects on sperm may be missing after thawing and within the female reproductive tract. The present study evaluated the effect of pos...

Improvement in Semen Conservation of the Indigenous Czech Endangered Old Kladruber Horse: Special Focus on the Type of Extender and Packaging System.

Journal of equine veterinary science
The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of two freezing extenders and two packaging systems on motility, plasma membrane (PM) integrity, and the apoptotic status of frozen-thawed (F-T) spermatozoa of the endangered Old Kladruber stallions....

Monitoring changes in distribution of pulmonary ventilation by functional electrical impedance tomography in anaesthetized ponies.

Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia
OBJECTIVE: To assess changes in the distribution in pulmonary ventilation in anaesthetized ponies using electrical impedance tomography (EIT).

Alfaxalone for total intravenous anaesthesia in horses.

Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia
OBJECTIVE: To determine the suitability of alfaxalone total intravenous (IV) anaesthesia in horses and concurrently evaluate infusion rates, cardiovascular effects, pharmacokinetics and the quality of the anaesthetic recovery period.
