The aim of this research was to study the kinematics and kinetics of agility dogs negotiating an A-frame when the preceding obstacle (in this case a jump) was placed at 10 m, 7.5 m and 5 m ahead of the A-frame. Six competition standard agility dogs were recorded negotiating an A-frame after completing a jump with each dog attempting each distance three times. Inertial measuring units attached to each dog gathered maximum velocity, acceleration and deceleration between jump landing and the A-frame. Video analysis and pressure sensors gathered carpal hyperextension and peak vertical forces for both forelimbs at the dogs’ contact with the A-frame. The study found no difference in either carpal extension or PVF data between the different distances. However, maximum approach velocity decreased (p < 0.05) with decreasing distance: 10 m (7.30 ± 0.40 m/s), 7 m (6.61 ± 0.34 m/s), and 5 m (5.74 ± 0.62 m/s). Acceleration was also decreased at the 5 m distance compared with 10 m distance (p < 0.05). A notable finding was the −1.57 m/s<sup>2</sup> decrease in deceleration found between the 10 m (-5.92 m/s<sup>2</sup>) and 5 m (-4.35 m/s<sup>2</sup>) distances (p < 0.05), with the 10 m distance having 36 % more deceleration than 5 m. As forelimbs have a role in deceleration, an increased distance between obstacles could be one of the factors involved in forelimbs injuries in agility dogs. In our study, positioning the preceding obstacle 5 m from the A-frame moderated speed, acceleration, and deceleration, and could potentially help to reduce reported injury rates, but additional studies are recommended to allow evidence-based guidelines.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23505,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary journal","volume":"312 ","pages":"Article 106363"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143873489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We deployed ropes in field settings and tested the rope-sampled oral fluids for antibodies against <em>Mycobacterium bovis</em> and closely related members of the <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> complex (MTC). Oral fluid samples were collected from three wild boars populations in Spain with endemic tuberculosis across two seasons with contrasting natural food availability. Additionally, we studied the effect of placing the ropes close to aggregation points and of impregnating the ropes with corn powder. The results suggested that installing environmental ropes in summer, close to feeders or aggregation points, and baited with corn powder significantly increases the proportion of bitten ropes. No significant differences were observed in the effectiveness of ropes for oral fluid sampling across the three study sites. The average rate of antibody detection by ELISA was 38 % (range 34–45 %) of the bitten ropes. This method appears to be both precise and sensitive in detecting antibodies against MTC in oral fluid samples collected from environmental ropes, making it a potentially valuable tool for early detection and monitoring of MTC circulation.

In this study, we utilized Recombinase Aided Amplification (RAA) technology in conjunction with a nucleic acid-colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip to establish a visual detection method that can rapidly and accurately identify FCoV and differentiate between its two serotypes, serotype I and serotype II.

In comparison to qRT-PCR, which has a detection limit of approximately 100 copies/μL, the RAA method exhibits significantly enhanced sensitivity. The detection limits for the FCoV N gene and the S1 gene serotypes I and II were determined to be 15.5 copies/μL, 1.97 copies/μL, and 1.46 copies/μL, respectively.

Genome-wide association (GWA) analyses identified two SNVs passing the nominal significance threshold (P < 1 ×10<sup>−5</sup>) in association with analgesic effectiveness. One SNV identified on chromosome 27 (rs1142378599) is contained within the <em>LOC100630731 disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 5</em> gene. The second identified SNV is an intergenic variant located on chromosome 29 (rs3430772468) These SNVs accounted for 26.11 % and 31.72 % of explained variation in analgesic effectiveness respectively, with all eight of the horses with the lowest analgesic effectiveness expressing the A/C genotype at rs3430772468, with six of which also expressing the C/T genotype at rs1142872965. Whilst highlighting the multifactorial nature of analgesic efficacy, this study serves as an important step in the application of genome-wide approaches to better understand genetic factors underpinning commonly observed variation in analgesic effectiveness in horses, with the goal of tailoring analgesic dosage to minimize commonly observed side effects and improve the outcomes of equine pain management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23505,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary journal","volume":"312 ","pages":"Article 106347"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143820874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
