Horse breeding from planning through foal care
A Thoroughbred mare will soon join the human, mouse, dog, and other species on the list of mammals whose genomes have been sequenced and mapped. The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) is currently working on a high-level equine
Morris Animal Foundation (MAF) and the University of Minnesota’s College of Veterinary Medicine (UM) jointly announced on Aug. 9 that the foundation has committed to raise $2.5 million over five years to fund the top-ranked consortium project
In 2003, the horse industry directly contributed $10.7 billion to the U.S. economy; $2.2 billion of that was from the breeding industry alone, according to a study published in 2005. It’s no wonder that Karin Bosh’s July 11 graduate defense
Tests performed Aug. 8-9 on the main track at Arlington Park have determined the Illinois track is consistent and safe for racing.
“I would not expect the track to be a significant factor in either fractures or soft tissue injuries,” sai
Morris Animal Foundation (MAF) selected the University of Minnesota’s College of Veterinary Medicine to receive funding for the first ever Equine Consortium for Genetic Research grant. The goal of the grant is to bring together the world’s best
Thanks to a University of Pennsylvania study, owners of small ponies can now predict their pregnant mares’ delivery dates simply by looking into their unborn foals’ eyes. During a two-year project, researchers in the university’s School of
The Equus Survival Trust, working to save endangered equine breeds, invites you to participate in an equine genome research project, carried out at the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, Texas A&M
Dietary management can work like magic for specific equine diseases.

Cloned mules Idaho Gem and Idaho Star made their racing debuts on June 3 and 4 in Winnemucca, Nev., each winning a qualifying heat before placing third and sixth, respectively, in the final 350-yard dash. This was the first time clones competed in
“It puts a whole new set of tools in play…it’s as if you are farmers that are used to relying on plows pulled by a draft animal, and all the sudden you have tractors,” says Jamie MacLeod, VMD, PhD, professor of veterinary science and Knight
Scientists will complete high-quality genome sequence of the horse together with a catalogue of genetic differences across diverse horse breeds
Long prized for its physical prowess, the horse has filled diverse and instrumental roles in
People new to the breeding and raising of horses probably have never experienced the challenge of raising an orphan foal or feeding a foal whose mother is producing little or no milk.
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) announced Wednesday (July 21) that it has added the horse genome to it latest sequencing targets, a project expected to provide powerful new scientific strategies and methods for research on
