Researchers recently finished sequencing the genome of an 18-year-old Quarter Horse mare called Sugar.
The 2012 program kicks off on Feb. 23 with “Managing Angular Limb Deformities in the Young Horse.”
Researchers reported success with inducing ovulation in winter anestrous mares via a new hormone therapy.
The guidelines focus on controlling the transmission of EAV, CEM, and EHV-1.
Program topics included the genetics involved in cribbing, equine genome comparisons, and more.
State animal health officials quaratined three premises in early to mid-January after confirming EHV-1.
The Microbiology Lab at Penn Vet is offering a panel of assays to streamline testing for foals with diarrhea.
The time required to train a stallion to use a dummy mount can range from few days to several weeks.
Stall accident resulted in traumatic soft-tissue damage to the reining mare Whizard’s Baby Doll, aka “Roxy”
A 1.8-mg dose of the deslorelin acetate formulation was safe and effective in inducing ovulation in mares.
“Equine Eve,” the ancestral mother of all modern horses, probably lived about 140,000 years ago.
The test will screen for five potentially fatal genetic diseases often found in Quarter Horses.
The overall seroprevalence was 68% on all farms tested, with levels on individual farms ranging from 14-100%.
The horse’s metabolic processes provide the body with the fuels it needs to sustain itself.
Ensure a bacterial infection that will respond to antibiotics is actually present before beginning treatment.
When it comes to equine education (training), horse owners face as many conflicting viewpoints as new parents.
