The horse-related grants from the Morris Animal Foundation will support research teams at 13 universities and institutions.

Honoring and respecting the way a horse is designed is the key to quality living. It means a life without daily suffering and fear. And it means a life where your horse can make choices.

Researchers applied mathematical models a group of horses to learn about the roles of kinship, aggression, proximity, social rank, and networking in mutual grooming.

The most obvious differences in heart-rate variability between the colic survivors and those ultimately euthanised were seen on the day after hospital admission.

Little is known about the condition, which carries a poor prognosis.

Summer sores will occur when flies carrying the larvae deposit their eggs onto an open wound or the mucous membranes of a horse.

Early recognition of critical cases is essential, regardless of whether euthanasia is the elected option, as colics represent a significant welfare concern.

Researchers in California set out characterize bone abnormalities that precede proximal sesamoid bone fractures and determine if pre-existing issues are linked with these fractures.

“Treatments to correct these post-extraction problems are often more time-consuming and more difficult than for the original underlying disease.”

Proteins released by these cells even managed to destabilize biofilms produced by methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Using 3D printed models, veterinarians can practice ultrasound-guided procedures with instant feedback. When they’re finished, the model can be melted down to remove all needle tracks and it is ready to go for the next use.

The study in Maryland will involve all races in the state for two-year-olds until the end of the year.
