Comparison Of The Metabolic Responses Of Trained Arabian And Thoroughbred Horses During Low And High Intensity Exercise

he metabolic responses to low and high intensity exercise were compared in 5
Arabian (AR) and 5 Thoroughbred (Tb) horses. The higher aerobic and anaerobic capacity of the Tb horses likely contributed to their superior high intensity exercise performance. Conversely, the AR may be better adapted for
endurance exercise as evidenced by the greater use of fat. These metabolic differences may reflect breed variation in muscle fiber types.

Plasma And Urine Electrolyte And Mineral Concentrations In Thoroughbred Horses With Recurrent Exertional Rhabdomyolysis After Consumption Of Diets Varying In Cation-anion Balance

To determine whether plasma, urine, and fecal electrolyte and mineral concentrations differ between clinically normal horses and Thoroughbreds with recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER) after consumption of diets varying in cation-anion balance.

Speed Associated With Plasma pH, Oxygen Content, Total Protein And Urea In An 80 Km Race

To test the hypothesis that endurance performance may be related quantitatively to changes in blood, we measured selected blood variables then determined their reference ranges and associations with speed during an 80 km race.

Effects Of Fat Adaptation On Glucose Kinetics And Substrate Oxidation During Low-intensity Exercise

This study was designed to determine the effects of fat adaptation on carbohydrate and fat oxidation in conditioned horses during low-intensity exercise.

Prediction Of Foaling Using Mammary Secretion Constituents

AIMS: To test published models for predicting time of foaling using data derived from prepartum mammary secretions and to develop a new model based on concentrations of mammary secretion constituents that accurately predicts time of foaling in Thoroughbred mares.
