In horse racing industries, they are extremely important for identifying and registering individuals and doping control to ensure fair competition. In this study, we constructed an individual identification panel for horses by using insertion and deletion (INDEL) markers. The panel included 39 INDEL markers selected from a whole-genome INDEL database. Genotyping of 89 Thoroughbreds showed polymorphisms with minor allele frequencies (MAFs) of 0.180-0.489 in all markers. The total probability of exclusion for paternity testing, power of discrimination, and probability of identity were 0.9994271269, >0.9999999999, and 0.9999999987, respectively. The panel was applied to 13 trios (sires, dams, and foals), and no contradictions were observed in genetic inheritance among the trios. When this panel was applied to the trios (52 trios) containing false fathers, an average of 7.3 markers excluded parentage relationships. In addition, genomic DNA extracted from the urine of six horses was partially genotyped for 39 markers, and 6-28 markers were successfully genotyped. The newly constructed panel has two advantages: a low marker mutation rate compared with short tandem repeats and a genotyping procedure that is as simple as short tandem repeat typing compared with single nucleotide variant typing. This panel can be applied for individual identification, paternity determination, and urine-sample identification in Thoroughbred horses.","PeriodicalId":35701,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Equine Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/04/3b/jes-34-083.PMC10534061.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41172379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The serum concentrations of haptoglobin, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα), nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA), zinc, iron, and copper were evaluated in all horses. The average concentration of TNFα in the SC group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.001). The TNFα concentration was higher in the NC group compared with the control group (P<0.001). Furthermore, the average concentration of TNFα tended to be higher in the SC group compared with the NC group (P=0.052).

TNFα in horses with signs of colic may be a reliable indicator of prognosis and the severity of clinical signs.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of and risk factors for SSI after internal fixation of the first phalangeal bone (P1) and the third metacarpal/metatarsal bone (MC3/MT3) fractures in Thoroughbred racehorses. Between 2011 and 2020, 451 cases underwent surgery with screws or a locking compression plate (LCP) for sagittal fractures of P1 or condylar fractures of MC3/MT3. Overall, 2.9% (13/451) of the cases developed an SSI. The incidence was significantly higher in plate fixation (21.4%) than in screw fixation (2.3%). There was no significant association with other variables, such as sex, age, number of screws, experience of surgeon, or prophylactic antimicrobials. The median duration of hospitalization for screw fixation was 14 days without an SSI and 20 days with an SSI, and those for plate fixation were 26 and 25-88 days, respectively, indicating that the development of SSI prolongs the duration of hospitalization. On the other hand, there were no significant differences in discharge and race resumption rates between cases with and without an SSI. These data indicate that the incidence of SSI in this study was low and that it was higher following plate fixation than screw fixation.","PeriodicalId":35701,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Equine Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/91/02/jes-34-061.PMC10534062.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41118457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To detect exogenous genes, a method utilizing quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) with a hydrolysis probe was developed to test whole blood and plasma samples, thereby protecting the fairness of competition and the rights of stakeholders in horseracing and equestrian sports. Therefore, we aimed to develop sample storage methods suitable for A and B samples in gene doping tests using blood. For sample A, sufficient qPCR detection was demonstrated after refrigeration for 1 to 2 weeks post collection. For sample B, the following procedures were confirmed to be suitable for storage: 1) centrifugation after sample receipt, 2) frozen storage, 3) natural thawing at room temperature, and 4) centrifugation without mixing blood cell components. Our results indicated that long-term cryopreservation yielded good plasma components from frozen blood samples even though it destroyed blood cells, indicating its applicability to the gene doping test using sample B, which can be stored for later use. Sample storage procedures are as important as detection methods in doping tests. Therefore, the series of procedures that we evaluated in this study will contribute to the efficient performance of gene doping tests through qPCR using blood samples.","PeriodicalId":35701,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Equine Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/e3/c6/jes-34-021.PMC10315635.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10160530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four mares were typically pregnant when positive conversion was detected, whereas no particular cause of conversion could be observed for one mare based on its clinical records. In the analyzed horses, most positive conversions were possibly due to pregnancy, as conversion occurred more often during this period than after parturition. Pregnancy is considered a key event for positive conversion. Additionally, in cases in which unknown causative sensitization is confirmed, continuous monitoring with a test to detect antibodies should be performed, even if the possible donor is selected and maintained.","PeriodicalId":35701,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Equine Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/91/cf/jes-34-047.PMC10315640.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10160532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is a paucity of information on the status of EMS in Nigeria. This study aimed to determine the occurrence of EMS, clinical manifestations, and associated risk factors in Nigeria. A cross-sectional study was carried out. Selected horses underwent an insulin 2-step response test to ascertain insulin dysregulation; a physical examination was carried out to diagnose laminitis and obesity. Risk factors were assessed using a questionnaire. The overall prevalence of EMS was 43.10%. Breed and sex were significantly associated with EMS, but age was not. Horses diagnosed with laminitis showed two signs of laminitis, namely, divergent hoof rings and widened white lines. Risk factors significantly associated with the prevalence of EMS were as follows: being a West African Barb horse (60.00%), being a stallion (67.86%), being a leisure horse (67.86%), only walking horses during exercise (68.00%), exercising horses once every 5 months (82.76%), tethering horses to a stake in the ground (67.86%), obesity (92.86%), and abnormal neck crest (83.33%). The risk of ID remains higher in obese horses.
