Calcium balance and bone density in immature horses fed a high protein diet
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Studies in other species indicate high protein diets increase urinary calcium (Ca) excretion and may lead to negative calcium balance and reduced bone density. As overfeeding of protein is commonplace in the horse ... -
Care of Horses' Feet.

Changes in protein expression in maturing equine testis: a quantitative DIGE analysis
(2011-01-11)Gross observation of testicular parenchyma of prepubertal horses reveals both light and dark regions. The light regions are associated with localized initiation and regulation of spermatogenesis. It is hypothesized that ... -
Channels and sources used to gather equine-related information by college-age horse owners and enthusiasts
(2009-05-15)This thesis identifies the equine-related topics that are important to Texas college-age horse owners and enthusiasts and the channels/sources they use to get equine-related information. Little research has focused on this ... -
Commonly Used Intra-Articular Medications Affect Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Growth and Viability
(2017-12-14)The objective of this work was to describe bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) proliferation and characterization after expansion with the common intra-articular medications polysulfated glycosaminoglycan, ... -
Cushioned centrifugation of stallion semen: factors impacting equine sperm recovery rate and quality
(2009-05-15)Centrifugation of stallion semen is an integral part of the cryopreservation procedure, primarily allowing for the concentration of sperm and removal of seminal plasma. In addition, centrifugation is required for maximizing ... -
Effect of Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Equine Ovarian Follicular Development and Gene Expression
(2017-06-09)Aging affects the reproductive efficiency of females. In rodent models, injection of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) improves function and induces trophic mRNA expression in ovaries compromised by chemotherapy. However, ... -
Effects of continuous treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone during the anovulatory season on gonadotropin secretion, follicular dynamics and ovulation in the mare
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Objectives were to determine if low-dose, continuous infusion of GnRH from Fall to Spring, would prevent seasonal anovulation in mares. Twenty Quarter Horse mares, ages 18 mo to 24 yrs, were stratified by age and body ... -
Effects of Vertical Whole-Body Vibration on Select Biochemical Markers of Muscle Turnover in Yearling Horses
(2017-05-23)This study was designed to determine the safety of vertical whole-body vibration (WBV) by measuring effects on select muscle biochemical markers in yearling horses on stall rest. Twenty yearling horses (17 ± 2 mon) were ... -
Nutritional Management of Pregnant and Lactating Mares.

Pregnancy Rates in Mares Inseminated with 0.5 or 1 Million Sperm Using Hysteroscopic or Transrectally Guided Deep-Horn Insemination Techniques
(2013-11-08)Placement of sperm deep in the equine uterine horn allows fewer sperm to be inseminated while maintaining acceptable fertility, and has been promoted for use in circumstances when fertility would be expected to be low if ... -
Utilizing body temperature to evaluate ovulation in mature mares
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)The equine breeding industry continues to be somewhat inefficient, even with existing technology. On average, foaling rates are low when compared with that of other livestock. One major contributor is the inability to ...
