Carbohydrate and Fat Supplementation in Grazing Mares and Foals
… traditional sweet feed. Thoroughbred mares and foals grazing bluegrass/clover pastures were used in these studies, twenty mares and their foals in 1994 to 1995, and twenty mares and foals in 1995 to 1996. Seasonal variation in pasture was examined, and the need for supplementation of nutrients …

Glucose and insulin dynamics in late gestation mares and neonatal foals
… fat and fiber (FF) feeds, as well as neonatal foals born from pregnant mares fed SS and FF feed. Insulin modified frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance tests (FSIGT) were applied to pregnant Thoroughbred mares (n = 22) at 28 ± 3 wks (Period 1) and 47 wks (Period 2) gestation, as well …

The Pharmacokinetics of Firocoxib after Multiple Oral Doses to Neonatal Foals
… profile of firocoxib in healthy neonatal foals. Foals are more sensitive to the side effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, (NSAIDs), particularly due to immature renal clearance mechanisms and ulcerogenic effects on gastric mucosa. Firocoxib, a novel second generation NSAID, is …

Validation of a new method of determining cardiac output in neonatal foals
… finding in hospitalized, critically ill neonatal foals. Hypotension may be a function of low cardiac output or increased cardiac output and decreased systemic vascular resistance. In the first instance, treatment would include fluids and/or inotropes and in the second, fluids and/or vasopressors. …

Changes in Conformation and Walk Kinematics of Suckling and Weanling Warmblood Foals
… in conformation and walk kinematics of warmblood foals. The first study quantified linear and angular conformation changes of 13 warmblood foals during the first 9 mo of growth. An objective photographic method of evaluating conformation was used to obtain all data. All linear measurements …

Pre-weaning diet and stall weaning method influences on stress response in foals
The response of foals to the stress of weaning was examined in terms of a behavioral protocol and the responses of plasma ascorbate, serun1 cortisol, and the serum cortisol response to an ACTH challenge. Behavior scores (1 to 10) as an index of stress were assigned to each foal daily, with high …

Evaluation of Iohexol Clearance to Estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate in Normal Horse Foals
… using standard techniques In adult horses and foals, renal dysfunction can occur as a secondary complication to gastrointestinal disorders, dehydration, septicemia, endotoxemia and nephrotoxic drug administration. Measurement of renal function is an important feature not only in the diagnosis, …

Effects of Diet and Probiotic Supplementation on Stress during Weaning in Thoroughbred Foals
… probiotic supplement on stress in Thoroughbred foals at weaning. Twenty foals, whose dams were paired by age and breeding date, then randomly assigned to one of two diets prior to parturition, were used. Two groups were maintained on mixed grass pastures and fed supplements, one high in sugar …

The effects of equine plasma transfusion on markers of inflammation in healthy neonatal foals
… transfusion of fresh frozen plasma in neonatal foals. Plasma transfusion is routinely used in the equine neonate for several reasons ranging from prophylaxis of disease to complementary treatment of ongoing conditions. Previous studies in hospitalized sick neonatal foals have reported a …

Purification and quantitative description of Rhodococcus equi IgG designed for aerosol nebulization to foals
The objective of this study was to purify IgG from commercially available hyperimmune Rhodococcus equi plasma and to assess the delivery of IgG as an aerosol to the equine lung. IgG was purified from plasma, and the IgG concentration of both the plasma and the purified IgG was determined by ELISA. …

Investigation of the Effects of Social Experience on Snapping Intensity in Equus caballus Foals
… a modified play response that was elicited when foals were confused by the complex social signals displayed by conspecifics. Finally, this project tested the aforementioned hypothesis by recording interactions between foals and conspecifics and analyzing the snapping intensity with each subject's …

CLINICAL APPLICATION AND PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY EXAMINATION IN FOALS DIAGNOSED WITH HEMATOGENOUS OSTEOMYELITIS
Bacterial sepsis in foals is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Bacteremia often arises from localized infections, with septic arthritis and osteomyelitis serving as potential gateways for bacterial spread or as sequelae of bacteremia. Computed tomography (CT) is increasingly utilized …

The influence of month of birth on growth and development of thoroughbred foals and yearlings
… month were developed to describe the growth of foals. Foals born in January-February were smallest overall at birth, 30 and 90 d-of-age (P< .01) May-June foals were largest at birth. Differences in wither height, body length and body weight of foals born in May-June vs in January-February at 30 …

Interpretation of the Detection of Antibodies to Sarcocystis neurona in the serum and CSF of young horses
… to S. neurona from seropositive mares to their foals was evaluated. Foals were sampled at birth (presuckle), at 24 hours of age (postsuckle), and at monthly intervals. All foals sampled before suckling were seronegative. Thirty-three foals from 33 seropositive mares became seropositive with …

La lattatemia nel puledro neonato sottoposto a terapia intensiva
… as a useful prognostic variable . In neonatal foals blood lactate was studied first by Magdesian (2003) who described venous blood lactate concentration in 14 normal foals during the initial 48 hours post-partum. A preliminary study about lactate concentration in foals presenting to a neonatal …

The effect of loading upon hoof wall growth and hoof shape in the Thoroughbred foal
… of the foot and is anisotropic and homogeneous. Foals appear to be born with symmetrical paired feet which by maturity are frequently unequal in angle and width. They stand within minutes of birth subjecting the hoof wall to loading. Hoof growth rate and hoof compression may be factors affecting …

Glucose regulation in Thoroughbred weanlings: Regulation by insulin, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-I
… metabolism in young horses. Twelve Thoroughbred foals were raised on pasture and supplemented twice daily with a feed high in either sugar and starch (SS) or fat and fiber (FF). As weanlings (age 199 ± 19 d, weight 274 ± 18 kg), the subjects underwent a modified frequent sampling intravenous …

Growth of Thoroughbreds fed Different Levels of Protein and Supplemented with Lysine and Threonine
… on growth and protein status of Thoroughbred foals offered a supplement with a typical CP level to a supplement that had a lower CP level fortified with limiting amino acids. The control supplement (CS) contained 14% CP, 3.0 Mcal/kg DM, 10% corn oil, 22% soybean meal, 1.4% calcium, and three …
